Too Late?

by George Hoerner

once deep asleep i do not
expect to take a breath
and blow the stone away
to walk among you
throwing up past regrets

instead i'll keep my leave
for i do believe
regrets and fears are left
for those walking over head

so tell me now your grudges
return to me those i. o. u.s
the breeze will blow you a kiss
and i'll tear up my u. o. me-s

the clock moves quickly now
as once it seemed
of no importance
but on to the sails
hoist them to the wind
i have miles to travel
before i sleep

I've always liked those last two lines. It captures so much. Used in a good poem, it can be perfect. And I'd say it was pretty damn perfect here.
