(no subject)
apart
old men suck on their teeth in the dying light.
a dog loses interest in
side dinner is getting ready. the trees
are getting ready. winter
time, darktime, lights on all nighttime. clock
rattling measure, for measure.
somebody winds the clock every day
so it won't forget. they forget
what it was like last summer, last
a lifetime in younger eyes
follow the shadow of trees
in the sun. clock
prattles its little syllogies. I forget
what you looked like when
I forget.
