1438

time

for godsbother

is the thing beyond us

other ended

shows just signs

all the stream afloat we are

and touches

consider the extent

how we face forward

unknown towards

ambushed now and then

ebb tide and neap

some punctuation – news, event

we’re running out of it

the slippery sands

and slope as well

burns down like the lungs you’ve spent

high time

drink it in

the best and worst of

these two cities

time is self-inflicted

a hemlock cup

go on

like the parents

decades unmoved

change batteries now and again

depend on it to pass

a while to it

and just a little

sleep comes back to me

thing imagined

a scratch

I’ll be

I’ll be there

back in the day

which was in the beginning

and someone once invented hours

to hear a shadow strike

the roll around

there’s the life never led

season didn’t come

these bones work through a thing until

metro-gnome

now it all comes back

these ages after

scope it

see the old selves stuck

still in hot pursuit

Achilles shielded

means of turtle

shelled out for

arrow never sung

the cat so many

landed all paws

takes the jungle back

universal dwelling

and gone

wonder who to be

cast captions

tough it out

we send the bullets back

we unexplode device

some call it the candle still

the condition progresses

take its course

a crime against humanity

this clock that rings

make Luddites all

time touches

neither heaven nor hell

but hardens against me

I’m judged

everyone is

not waiting for deity now

some days a kind of smoke

or gauge it

heals  

waits for no one

and has been bearded too

tug here

so rapidly will it conclude us

depend on it to pass

who slips from the noose?

and get away with God

forgive me

go down in the screaming heap

each has the stone to cast

it’s ‘time’

‘last drinks’

I remember that 

but it was long ago
