Some Day

Curtains no longer black,
form manifests from night's cloak
as your eyes find your way back
to another place; 'some day' before.
You had your patch of couch
in the dirty room of beer tabs and condoms-
some new, some used, some fresh from you,
and as dawn then as now gave form to
the patchy ceiling of flaked neglect,
you spoke into the quasi-light,
“Some day” before stumbling for the last warm beer.
That was thirty years ago-
dawn now fills out a bed, reveals even ceiling paint
and no cut feet on tabs,
but still you say “Some day.”
This willow wisp dances always just beyond
the peripheral life you think you could live
if this were that way,
if that were this way,
if the house (not a couch) weren't so small;
there is no having it all, this is it;
there is no 'some day'.

this was a difficult read... hope all will be right Some Day for your sister too!
I was the little dude on the couch growing up, it was a small house too... there was always a big depression in the sheet rock behind the couch because we all rocked, we rocked and we rocked...
there's got to be something good from every one of us, and I know there is.
difficult read to a poem that the reader sees was intensely difficult to write.
Best always my Amigo!
Peace!
