time.

lugged across the windowsills of change

same spot, sweeping seasons, slipping me strange

gripping grass tufts till my fingers become dirt and hinge

i'll watch yellow weeds turn violet in rainy mid july

i'll watch the sky swim from navy to goldfish orange

i'll watch the ripples run and die

yet you'll watch me olden and whoop and weep

finding my ever-flitting keep

let me breathe here eternal, to try

and watch time laugh loud, as it strides by
