Time

While watching the minutes climb
I find it quite sublime
that moving through space
needs legs to pace
but not so at all with time.

still there the next day / you move your head to the side / gecko on the wall

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

after dark / the empty building / keeps its windows

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

sun in the window / blasting away to nothing / like afternoons do

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

in predawn dark / the wind on the river / has no secrets

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

slug on the pavement / I know that your shiny trail / reaches other times

slug on the pavement / it is true your shiny trail / reaches other times

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

through the soft night / is the air of something lost / in the cricket’s cry

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

swaying palms / and a hot gray sky / before the rain

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

mouse in the garden / I see you there in your hole / how you never leave

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

little blue flower / you live in a small clay pot / out there on the porch

little blue flower / you live in a round clay pot / out there on the porch

deep thunder / in the far off night / my dark room

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

worlds now gone / are all the places / in my dreams

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

closer draw / the mountain and sky / between us

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

from across the lake / the bullfrog’s dry croak echoes / a lost afternoon

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

sea bird your sad cry / hangs in air like a question / swallowed by the wind

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 3 months ago

why tell me / inside the stillness / a cricket chirps

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 4 months ago

a rain drop / to watch the moon swim / in your eye

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 4 months ago

light on the trees / from long ago mornings / found again now

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 4 months ago

no one can tell me / how the grackles can watch with / their eyes like needles

u/Otherwise-Charge5904 — 4 months ago

spiders in summer / jumping gray on the pavement / and where have they gone
