a day
Zaniyah Chestnut
In a day
I'll pick up where I left you
And walk with the boy
And talk with his mother
And tell of the circus I left
In a year
You'll remember the heartbreak
And I'll still be way 'cross the river
With half-buried poems and
Graves of the last few I left
One day, pass time
And I'll leave his heart by the riverside
One time, for a day
I'll pretend that the boy wasn't
Buried in me
So I'm fine
Or at least I'm OK
So a month or a year will go by
And I'll still be stuck on a day
