I heard we gained an hour
but I can’t find mine.
Did I lose it in the shower?
Or that rabbit hole online?
Is it hiding in the corner
of a place already rife
with the remnants of the upsets
in my wild and crazy life?
I’ve checked behind the curtains,
I’ve searched under the bed
and I wonder if my hour
found another house instead.
Did it slip away so quickly
that it left me unaware?
Did it vanish when it noticed
all that chaos waiting there?
I know there are some hours
full of respite and recline.
I don’t begrudge them anything
I’m just really missing mine.
