Some People

some people

some people
only have their hearts broken once
and that seems
to be
enough

they move on
clicking like trains and moving
softly
like old hands of a clock

whispering like leaves
not waiting for an answer

the seasons are never more lonely
than the ones before
they just put the christmas boxes
back
in the closet
and nothing lights up again
for another year

some people read the paper every day
but probably forget
a lot of it
