Why Time is Such an Able Thief

Why Time is Such an Able Thief

It feels like

autumn already ..

I’ve got that

lead in my limbs

again feeling

like a desert is

almost upon me ..

Dear lord,

how can we both

possibly

survive like this

on the same page

with such

a thirst raging

between us

and the emphasis

always being

upon our longing ..

While together,

we run on empty

and it is

killing us, but ever

so slowly

and autumn is

simply taking its toll ..
