Sub Mission

If she’s up there might have sure observed

What happened and is happening down here...

To see if there has been any progress at all

After she left for good-some good time back.

Did her plans work, did I reform,

Did that loan clear? Did I sell that house?

Does she figure in our daily routine?

In deed, conversation or say just in thought?

If the dead stay dumb, the dumb play dead.

I’ve now gone numb being neither dumb nor dead.

If she’s reborn again can I find her somewhere?

Build new bridges and the weak repair?

Confide in her now all knowing ear

All that happened in every passing year...

Will I get another chance...just that one...

To undo the done and do the undone?
