Time to Call Time

Time to Call Time

At the very same time

the words

for a poem I may now

never write

came to me last night ..

I thought

I felt the coolness of

your palm

rest light, across the lid

of both

my tightly closed eyes ..

And in that

very same moment,

the light

shined through them ..

It was then

I realised I was blinded

and the room

filled up with patchouli

yet again ..

So I decided to discard

my prescription

Ray-Bans, and call time ..
