Beginning
Darkness enshrouds me
While subtle forces gently
Send me toward the light
Category Archives: Time
Refuse
An old cigarette
And me, both discarded trash
That once touched your lips
Relief
I wonder what kind
Of man I would have become
If we hadn’t met
Leap
Annulled at midnight
This day destined to return
In four years from now
Pullman
Rolling through the night
The rhythm of the train tracks
Rocking us to sleep
Age
A young man’s eyes see
The lined face and greying hair
Looking back at me
Regrets
Memories of you
Follow closely, taunting me
With what might have been
Brevity
Late October rain
Bees covet the wildflowers
While the desert blooms
Noise
Lying on the floor
The world passes me by as
I try to let it
Erosion
Tumbled river stones
Transforming into sand by
Water’s persistence
