see how you break
like we all do
when times spent dancing in the past
are no longer enough
and the bright souls
of the future give us the smallest sense
of their wishes
we can listen to.
we can awaken to that past
and the future that walks beside us
now
but, that’s our only option
all these non-real
elements of time
we glue to the wall
and make us tick away
into dust
we wait
until infinity
bestows her wishes.
and we live
with this element
instead
the time we make
and feel
and see
not the time
that keeps us trapped.
