the wind of time

your relationship
with time
has been cordial
and easy
for the most part.
you've let
the wind of her
blow through
your hair. but
lately, you've
wanted her to
stop, slow
down the pages
of the book
you are in.
to let you
reread the moment,
look back onto
what has come
and gone and not
be so quick
to get to the end.
