My yes never fit into the no of this world.

I was just a little girl trying to get rid of the just and the little,

got rid of the girl instead.

Got rid of my yes trying to make a no so big

it could go back in time, swallow everything that happened

that should not have happened.

And that’s how I lived. That’s how I’d been living.

Decades of no no no no no no no no no.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day, Nothing gold can stay. Robert Frost

Shaking his head he seems to hear himself saying aloud: I feel like maybe I still don’t accept it. The idea that my dad is gone. I don’t really get how it could be the case, if you see what I mean. I think I do, she says. Like he just sort of exited from time, and we all have to keep going, within time. Do you know what I mean?
