In the tenth second of forever, I thought of the
Sea and a white yacht drifting...
In the ninth second of forever, I thought of a
Leaf, a stone, the plastic fragment of the child's
Toy...
In the eighth second of forver, I remembered a
Warm room where voices played...
In the seventh second of forever, I thought of
The life I would not lead...
In the sixth second of forever, I saw your mouth
Whispering something I could hear...
In the fifth second of forever, I thought of
The vermillion deserts of Mars, the jewelled
Forests of Venus...
In the fourth second of forever, I could
Remember nothing that I did not love...
In the third second of forever, I thought
Of rain against a window and I thought of
The wind...
In the second second of forever, I thought
Of the pair of broken shades lying on the
Tarmac...
In the first and final second of forever, I
Thought of the long past that had led to
Now and never... never... never... never...
