I saw time take a pear.
No kiss touched it's golden skin,
No tooth tooth touched it's tender core.
The seed lay burried close within,
...
Harsh is the night,
Tender is for leaving.
Those gentle snapping strings,
When the sweet stop believing.
...
On a rainy day,
I watched droplets
Running down the window,
And wager on which
...
Thunder could not turn my head,
The way it's turned today,
Toward a distant unseen room,
Within the distant day.
...
The proud of themselves
Make sorrows sad,
Like dust that falls on snow.
The cold beneath the frozen crust,
...
Now that things
Have come so vague,
My eye see's things anew,
Washed afresh, before
...
I Saw Time
I saw time take a pear.
No kiss touched it's golden skin,
No tooth tooth touched it's tender core.
The seed lay burried close within,
Withered like a child unborn.
I saw time take a tree,
That stood a span of nine like me,
No recourse to age or size,
Could quell it's slow, and soft demise.
I saw time take a land,
By axe and saw,
To barren sand.
For the love of life,
And lust for loss,
We take our time,
And time takes us.
