and then

Perception the spaces

Flying just below dim

Dizzying cartwheels on the lawn

We just caught our breath

Long enough for more


Loneliness figures out

Hiding without constraint

Beleaguered loosely

Without purpose


Tease me in the present time

Make my life hell just for a moment

Take my dignity and squeeze it

Until it bleeds down on your toes


The moment is stretched for a lifetime

Imprints and chemicals

Perpetuation defined

Of the ghosts in the machines
