Untimely

unsettling
separation
not at that time in snow
when bulls and cows
go their own ways
but now
in the ripening time
when your power
is nearly peak

what is pulling them apart
stronger than love
tearing
taking them away
from each other
now
in the ripening time?

has their garden gone untended
too long
unsettling?

is it too late to ask your help
to share some medicine
or will everything start over
different
sometime
after the ripening
driven by the rupture
that’s pulling them apart?
