ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS
Sequence: 4
CHANGES
I had hoped to be different
and now I am
I didn't have to try too hard after all
so all my complaining at myself
was wasted
save your complaints
for something that is changed by them
now I'm thinking
what if some of the white hairs
start growing in black again
will I be sleepless and nervous again
but bend more easily and stay up
half the night talking?
but I should know by now
when they change the roads
the roads only lead away from us
and the destination changes too
further away and more surprising
ending in a warmer climate
or a more sheltered valley
or even up in the air
