POETRY

Fingers
by Michael Tartàglia, © 2000
Let me be nineteen or fourteen again
So I can relive these wasted years
For the pursuit of personal success
Proved too hard. For the tears
I have shed, and the laughs
I once displayed, have only been that.

Feelings of a short moment,
Being quick and personal at best
Cannot be so withheld
In the heart of my chest
You try to hold back this time
But, just as the bottle falls
It slips through your fingers.
