Over your shoulder

Over your shoulder
you carried me
Through the timeline of myself
small weight on your back
Swaddled to you
something fragile and unsure
over your shoulder
gaining ground
Years later I watch the world
It's endless cycles
stuck on repeat
new mistakes follow old ones
the postmodern plod
of the born again
and over my shoulder
the years have passed
in an instant moments lost in the rear view mirror
gaining ground
running hard
towards all those improbable destinies
wishing for the comfort of you
carrying me forward
The compass of you that would keep me on the right path
the calm assurance of your sureness
Over my shoulder
I carry you to bed
Your joints ache and you're afraid you may fall
some fragile thing
swaddled to me
the timeline of your days approaching their end
Over my shoulder
I see my shadow
it follows me relentlessly and will not let up
If only I could go back
or stand so very still
that time unnoticed will slip past me, forget me,
keep me
to you
gaining ground.
