Now's The Only Time I Know

dark brown hair
and eyelash
reappear
in a flash
now’s the only
time i know
early morning’s
greatest deed
what’s forsaken
i do not need
there is water
there is snow
settling down
door and room
keep it tidy
keep it like home
now’s the only
time i know
come here sparrow
watch my hand
black and blue seeds
that’s what my hand can
now’s the only
time i know
do my hair
and paint eyelash
reappear
in a flash
there is more
i’d like to know
nine-fifteen
then i’m done
quiet front seat
and drive around
through the water
through the snow
