The Sigh of Half a Decade

Quemis

In quiet resignation I,
Rotate an aging year.
The sigh of half a decade
Dissolves between my ears.

The thrill of adoration;
The make of word and bread;
Friendship so blood dear to me -
Its import can't be read.

Discovery and tenderness,
Revelation and mime;
Long nights sharing guarded pain,
The craft of filling time.

The wrench of coming tragedy,
The loss of rhyme and way;
Confusion so encompassing -
On love there's naught to say.

Precautions too uneasy,
Forgetfulness and mime;
Long nights throwing burning blame,
The curse of hoarding time.

The pain of distant apathy
Turns all tongues into lead;
Specters so blood lost to me,
Their names go on unsaid.

I write this resignation then,
To slow the coming spring;
A tiny hope I harbor,
For hollow soul to sing.
