having to get back to this sunset
ray heinrich
some sunset
you say
while i'm still back here
trying to figure out something that would have mattered an hour ago
or last year
but
it doesn't matter now
always
trying to catch up
and i meant to call
and i meant a lot of things
and the past comes
and haunts again
and tells me things
that once
i thought i knew and thought they didn't matter
some sunset you said
(how long ago?)
but now
i'm always
having to get back to this sunset
