What if we could have back
Every moment when we blinked?
Would we see a newborn world flash by,
Or watch again times tried to forget?
Would you gather the missed seconds
In a glass jar as if collecting raindrops?
Would you save them surreptitiously,
Under your pillow to soak in your dreams, strengthen
with age?
Would you thirstily drain each drop
Right before you left your body,
Splicing on each extra second,
Forcing time to wait on you?
Or would you sip lightly
On foggy Sundays, taking
These moments one by one, searching each
For that perfection missed the time you blinked
too soon?
