I find time
Equals age lines
Curving across
Swerving under
Eyes and open pores

Time equals
Exhaustion
Frustration
With the lack of
Speed and clarity
Of my thought
Processes
Killing my creativity

Time equals
Dying flesh
Proffering
Shiny black coffins
And dusty grey stone
Monuments

Time equals
Wisdom gain
Subtracting
Knowledge lost
In forgetting
In letting
The one inevitable
Come

Time equals life
But mostly death
