Almost Forever

by Gregg Dotoli

you arrived in fall
to dot the i in me
making we (almost forever)

my faded blue spirit
crawls in perpetual hail
lost in (almost forever)
joy nevermore
time now a dark door
life a melancholy chore

you arrived in fall
to dot the i in me
making we (almost forever)

regret sprays salt ruby blood
a split spiting heart
stings my raw deep soul
