TIME LOOP

ebb and flow, ebb and flow,
rise and shine to morning dew
threading across our window panes.
sinew and gore string through
aged splashes of cracked paint.
kiss of polish and crimson blood--
we're stuck in a rut.

and time labels our unchanging hues
evergreen

youthful chartreuse highlights
our faces-- never dulling, never ageing.
rising--come morn,
witnessing the dawning of another dusk,
then flitting through calendar pages.

I'd rather prefer
a deciduous label.

but I'm afraid we're destined to
be victims of
another morning
riddled with dew
and another evening
that sentences grief
and another night
that kills us slowly
through tendrils
of our own contemplation

and that's how we'll flit
through calendar pages--
living another, no the same day
till
the
world
rips
its
own
awnings.
