Not Letting Go of Daylight Savings

not letting go of daylight savings

not letting go of daylight savings
.
sparing the moment’s defining details
we can conceivably wiggle out
from underneath the universe’s
sudden heaviness
if we turn the clock
one whole hour forward just one minute
before your mother wakes us up
to share the grave news

time travel is often complicated like that

we are not equipped
and never prepared
to leave anyone behind
.
