If I had known back then - Ada Limon
The bell rings three times. Notice
How long until the last note
Declines
Would I have got that tattoo
Or the other
Bruises, stretch marks
Still have been a mom
Or just a housemate, Tia, aunt
Friend from long ago
Felt this close to you
Dying among your books
A few of mine
I would have said yes sooner,
As in, get it over with
Yank off the Band-Aid
Take off the blindfold
Disillusioned
Once
The bell rings
Two times
Follow the chime
Follow the
Chime
