eternal, blink and it' gone

Last time I looked
I don't think it was returned

this is the last time
I always said

some things never die
try try try

always when you strip bark from a tree
just to look, there is a whiteness

a delicate shock
and you can never take it back

or glue things in place
grind it to dust under your shoe

this is the last time
I will say these words, even to myself

smeared and ugly, the cut throat beauty of sunset
so you can't turn away

try, just try
