To Being Late

Again again you are the right time after all

not according to however we planned it

Again again you are the right time after all

not according to however we planned it

unforeseen and yet only too well known mislaid horizon where we come to ourselves as though we had been expected

you are where it appears now and will stay from now on in its own good time it was you we came to in the first place hearing voices around us before we knew what they said

but you always surprise us it is you that we hurry to while you go on waiting to the end of space

and when we get to you we stop and listen trying to hear whether you are still there
