calendar tricks

hail Heraclitus!

 

have you noticed?

 

words yet again failing

 

how puffed the hill

still the way back shorter

 

the spread of ache

 

each moment telltale

further down

(world full of spoilers)

 

the old aren’t so old anymore

it’s as we approach

horizons now closer

you thought you could keep kicking back

 

have you noticed?

 

shit doesn’t smell so bad anymore

not even your own

not anyone’s

nothing smells much now

 

some years are again

some fall behind

others never come

they matter less

 

have you felt the pace of days

the sinking?

just a few years further now

 

now we’re all stuck

but swim in time

 

the fallen skies restored

 

every year the print is smaller

 

our list grows longer

as the days recede

 

washing dry

before it’s hung

 

turf overhead for a sign

 

how hate digs deep

how love outshines

 

the dark is ours to dream

 

one way, another

lose in the end

 

take in the day

crumbling ruins we build

 

have you felt the spinning

 

of a wider world?

 

and will you know this same old sun

new with every day?
