The art of losing;
filled with the intent
to be lost

Accept the fluster
the hour badly spent.
The art of losing

losing farther, losing faster:
where it was you meant
will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch.
three beloved houses went.
The art of losing.

I lost two cities,
two rivers, a continent.
I miss them,

(the joking voice, a gesture
I love)
not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!)
