I heard clockwork songs, sprockets and cogs lost, stolen tocks swept through swift hands, and ticks slipped by whistfully shy and shallow; lapping up time in long tongues and trappings on and on, anon singing suddenly daylight! Laughing larks earnest for tomorrow while we, heart shot in sorrow, swallow our pride, hide face first while versed well in this chorus crowing, "See! See! It is sleep that damns, these dreams, contagion!" Step we back, through stars never sleeping as we wound tightly with lunar ties to the tides of these cardiac shores, sanguine swells beneath onyx allure, dampened air, dew gathered in reverence. We were immortal until daylight. We were wrought with cast shadows as indomitable as dreams. Yes we were. Like dew to fog and stars to sun and we may just dissolve like de_ to fog _nd sta_s to su_ a_d we _ay j_s_ _isso_ve _i_e _e_ t_ _og __d __a_s to _u_ a__ w_ _ay __s_ ___so_v_ _i__ _e_ __ _o_ ___ __a__ t_ _u_ ___ w_ _a_ ____ ___s____ _i__ __________ _______ ____ __ _ .

About time.
I heard clockwork songs, sprockets and cogs lost, stolen tocks swept through swift hands, and ticks slipped by whistfully shy and shallow; lapping up time in long tongues and trappings on and on, anon singing suddenly daylight! Laughing larks earnest for tomorrow while we, heart shot in sorrow, swallow our pride, hide face first while versed well in this chorus crowing, "See! See! It is sleep that damns, these dreams, contagion!" Step we back, through stars never sleeping as we wound tightly with lunar ties to the tides of these cardiac shores, sanguine swells beneath onyx allure, dampened air, dew gathered in reverence. We were immortal until daylight. We were wrought with cast shadows as indomitable as dreams. Yes we were. Like dew to fog and stars to sun and we may just dissolve like de_ to fog _nd sta_s to su_ a_d we _ay j_s_ _isso_ve _i_e _e_ t_ _og __d __a_s to _u_ a__ w_ _ay __s_ ___so_v_ _i__ _e_ __ _o_ ___ __a__ t_ _u_ ___ w_ _a_ ____ ___s____ _i__ __________ _______ ____ __ _ .
