I wish time would slow down
let me catch up

scrolling through old snapshots
dated still lifes
of once quite
present moments

gifts of time
when I gazed towards the future
and assessed
“will I want to savor and long for this later?
yes

yes
how I long
lust and savor
the source of my current reflections
within these lines

Memories. Moments. Minutes.
a collaboration, congregation
coagulated confines
of precious compartmented time

still
I am separated from particular points of potential paradise
indefinitely
