We finished talking;
no more words to say,
no more time to spare.
Yet I still had a story to tell,
but time was gone.

What I wanted to share was far
        too graphic, far too heavy,
to be told before parting.
An eagle can't swoop to the lake
to scare the fish.
It must complete its task
and take its time.
If you only have time to scare,
you don't have time to spare,
save the story if you care.
