Carla BruniIf You Were Coming In The Fall

if you were coming in the fall,
i`d brush the summer by
with half a smile and half a spum,
as housewives do a fly.

if i could see you in a year,
i`d wind the months in balls,
and put them each in separate
drawers,
until their time befalls.

if only centuries delayed,
i`d count them on my hand,
subtracting till my fingers dropped
into Van Diemen`s Iand.

if certain, when this life was out,
that yours and mine should be,
i`d toss it yonder like a rind,
and taste eternity.

but now, all ignorant of the length
of time`s uncertain wing,
it goads me, like the goblin bee,
that will not state its sting.
if you were coming in the fall,
i`d brush the summer by
with half a smile and half a spum,
as housewives do a fly.

if i could see you in a year,
i`d wind the months in balls,
and put them each in separate
drawers,
until their time befalls.

if only centuries delayed,
i`d count them on my hand,
subtracting till my fingers dropped
into Van Diemen`s Iand.

if certain, when this life was out,
that yours and mine should be,
i`d toss it yonder like a rind,
and taste eternity.

but now, all ignorant of the length
of time`s uncertain wing,
it goads me, like the goblin bee,
that will not state its sting.
