Jon Andriessen -'When I Said...'

When I Said...

Whatever it was,
You’re replies stopped.
Dead as not waking.
In silence

I was sorry,
Never knowing
What that really
Meant, back then

And we don’t
Laugh about it now
And at the time
It was terrible

And still is.
The truth
Being: what
We’ve missed.

Is gone.
