Calvert - )
In the tenth second of forever, I thought of the
sea and a white yacht drifting...
In the ninth second of forever, I thought of a
leaf, a stone, the plastic fragment of the child's
toy...
In the eighth second of forver, I remembered a
warm room where voices played...
In the seventh second of forever, I thought of
the life I would not lead...
In the sixth second of forever, I saw your mouth
whispering something I could hear...
In the fifth second of forever, I thought of
the vermillion deserts of Mars, the jewelled
forests of Venus...
In the fourth second of forever, I could
remember nothing that I did not love...
In the third second of forever, I thought
of rain against a window and I thought of
the wind...
In the second second of forever, I thought
of the pair of broken shades lying on the
tarmac...
In the first and final second of forever, I
thought of the long past that had led to
now and never... never... never... never...
