Float
time blends
the clock reads 4
but when did that happen
didn’t i just wake up?
the hands fell back
the sky grows darker
so soon, so early
and time slips away faster
is it day
or night
it's hard to tell anymore
when winter creeps in
with its cold grasp
freezing everything
in eerie stillness
and i lose myself
lost in the snow globe scenery
the white that sparkles
the deep blue that glows
with specks of white
if i’m lucky
but
trapped in the mud streaked slush
piled on the curbs
the ice so black
that the road seems unending
and safe
i feel unmoored
what day is it
what month
everything blends into one long day
it never ends
it never ends
trapped in the house
no, in the clock
the hands that tick on
tick
tock
tick
tock…
on and on and on
its maddening
time is liquid
it flows around
me
and you
and everything
through my fingers
as i try to grasp
even a moment
it flows on
and we float in it
bound to time forever
like fish in the sea
