This Sadness, revisted

Sadness is a timewarp

What are two years in 

The span of a universe

Or an anthill or a marriage

Nothing 

Two years are a moment ago

And you still hang around 

My neck like a talisman

You were an animal wild

And baring your teeth

Ereshkigal

Now you coo in the rafters

I can hear you when I sing to myself
