We walk one way
the way forward
Along the x-axis
time is the only way
for us
The past lies beyond a glass wall
clear in memory
unbreakable
for we cannot walk backwards
She did something
she wishes she hadn’t done
She hates the way it pulls at her when she tries to sleep
She hates the way she can always see it
when she’s ordering black coffee
when she’s driving her car through the gridlike streets
It’s always there, beyond the wall
unreachable through the glass
She wants to hit the barrier
break the clear face
grasp the cold black hand and spin it
counterclockwise
Say
you're
sorry
