Days turn to nights, weeks to months and years.
So easily time is flying past a blur in my memory.
Seems only yesterday that we first met- and an hour ago you left.
But if it were possible for my focus to shift- my hourglass to stop turning so that the world will stop spinning for a second- I would use my strength to forget you.
...

The surface I see-
A blank faced ghost,
So very confused and unsure,
With a flicker of flame
...

Three cards in a pack,
One too many to stack,
A red queen-
Red for now.
...

And the afternoon cacophony,
The breeze through the trees-
The whistling of birds fighting over their food
And the cyclists spurs creaking under the weight-
...

Been a baby so long
Rockabye,
Lullaby,
Singing me songs of bliss,
...

Such a pure painting,
Was never truly white-
Splotches of black and red
...

I don't recall the threshold-
I don't I don't I don't,
But maybe if I had,
Maybe if I'd known you-
...

An atom at birth,
Unseen to some-
It twirled and spun,
Til' was left only none.
...

And to think that the whole bridge I built
Over the water it's called a moat
Well you can't cross-
No not by boat,
...

Wet cement,
So smooth,
So flowing.
Wet cement,
...
