Poems
Aug 2014
do not wait
do not wait for me-
there is not time
today has gone
yet i am here
without breath
keening with fear
i am a grain, caught
in an hourglass
yet i am a collector-
hoarding lost hours
in the lining
of my pocket
i take them out rarely
they are old keys
their locks are long gone
do not wait for me
there is not time
do not wait for me
i am already gone
