The suddenness of desertion,
the emptiness of time
Abandoning each moment,
as clocks strike their chime
And wherego the hours,
once used and cast off
Are there auctions and markets
for each second that’s lost
And who’s to recount
the old wishes unprayed
With days ever changing,
and voices relayed
The end a beginning,
the beginning an end
To drift in its circle
—time never respent
(Dreamsleep: September, 2020)
Augustine Was Right
Time an illusion,
to make sense of reality
Reality an illusion,
to order and place
Order an illusion,
to all that’s a given
What’s given Divine
—indefinable Grace

‘A Tribute To Augustine’s 3 Tenses Of Time,
Present Past—Present Present—Present Future’
The Tollway
Prophesy,
that sphere beyond reason
Belief as its bridgework
—faith as its troll
