Questions from Blurring Time by Bells Larsen

Why do you cry
Every year on your birthday
Is it growing pains
Do you not know what to say

Do you start to spiral
When you think of aging
Will you take off your armour
Is the fight worth the pain

Why do you think you
Ought to make up for lost time
When you speak in rhymes
You give yourself away

Why does Nonna call me
When she hears you on the radio
Vivid and visceral
I sing your songs like an oath

I’m doing so much better than I was
This time last year
But tell me how you are
They say objects in mirrors are closer than they appear
But I know you feel far

Do you believe in God
When you ride in airplanes
Do you stop believing
Once you know you won’t die

Where do you find inspiration
Has it always come easy
Do you pepper your poems
With two truths and maybe a lie

I’m doing so much better than I was
This time last year
But tell me how you are
They say objects in mirrors are closer than they appear
But I know you feel far

How many photos
Have you taken of the moon
Does the moon persuade you
And will you visit her soon

Why don’t you ever
Ask me any questions
Do you feel you still know me
Now that I’ve started anew

I’m doing so much better than I was
This time last year
But tell me how you are
They say objects in mirrors are closer than they appear
but I know you feel far
