vi.Silently Stuck In Time

31 9 6
                                    


Burned in the soft hourglass of time

Heat fogged up the glass, blind to the calendar lines

Windy pages flew as I melted away--getting cavities

 Falling through the waving hoops of life's spoiled existence


I've passed some clocks and haven't been at peace

All I do is breathe in flowery trees and fall into silky sleep

You pry my eyes open with thundering daydreams

but your infectious smile can't sing to me


My childhood candied heart drifts away

In the grotesque money sea

I'm left with steep nostalgic grief of adjustment

and I've lost possession, lost my warrant

To anything in life that used to be important
