Time    slaughters     decades
seasons of inertia    bending              faces   packed   with numbers
flexible    efforts   wait   stop     ask:    where are you going now?
we are getting there       in the essence of memory
madness   seashells   time      on the beach
            time at the window        waiting
time undressing     violent time      time to go      time to rethink
            decisions bare       tree branches              time to climb     
scrap knees
time to fill     throat with ants        choke           slip into daydream
paint       you      dwindling in the corners of the canvas
stirring romance       time black     unrepentant       sacrificed

disappearing
