Too late

"Too late  

You missed all the markers, let each one pass  

each road sign, each arrow, each cri de coeur 

Now, only now you try to attend,  

catch up, connect, grab on, hold tight 

Realisation dawns pinkly 

too late 

the shutter is bolted 

unbreakable, solid 

I’m over you 

I’ve left you 

I’m elsewhere 

Gone "
