Cruel sounds. 20190102.


I see the two dancing, moving slowly like stars

Moving closer, singing the rhythm of chaos

The rhythm of longing, moving apart.


One minute has me frozen,

Without a muscle in command

Though everything is broken.


Another hour I am enraged

Wanting the world would pause

That a peaceful moment may escape.


What the two have for me, can I tell

So often am I a slave to them

I am completely nothing else.


This hour, they are closing in

I, chasing my own heart

But what minute may turn and spin.


I against an ungodly clock

Uncertain shaken waiting

Wish, its music but stop.
