Time so fleetingly chastises the womb Wherein all life's illusions swoon. Embezzled like spring's petaled earthen love The art form's swallowed once famine's begun.   Extruded through shapes devoid of angles No more will the process be found to dangle Above heads of ravenous vultures. Now The swine submits before the sow.   Who now does this frame become, when all the insides and colors run? How did once this child breathe,  Before smooth skin had turned to leaves?   In all the time it took to capture The memories here, and there after Sunrise form and Sunset break, Years elongate by Eternity’s wake.

The Shortness of Years
Time so fleetingly chastises the womb Wherein all life's illusions swoon. Embezzled like spring's petaled earthen love The art form's swallowed once famine's begun.   Extruded through shapes devoid of angles No more will the process be found to dangle Above heads of ravenous vultures. Now The swine submits before the sow.   Who now does this frame become, when all the insides and colors run? How did once this child breathe,  Before smooth skin had turned to leaves?   In all the time it took to capture The memories here, and there after Sunrise form and Sunset break, Years elongate by Eternity’s wake.
