Time as Taffy

I Remember tomorrow,

As the sun arrests me

in the now

 

Time’s like taffy to swallow,

Seconds stretched,

Stuck together,

Like The sun knows how…

 

Just how to snatch 

the arrow I’m caught on,

That drags me ceaselessly 

through dark skies…

 

A sun so crisp and clear,

When it halts and hangs,

Motionless, heavy,

As it breaks from its rise.

 

Rays reach outwards

like hands grasping 

each moment,

Pulling at either end,

Elongating time somehow…

 

Seconds stretch and spill over,

Borders of “back then” 

and “later” melt away..

The sunrise seizes me

And I’m fully in The Now.
