Time Glass
ojmj

11 p.m. Neither light nor shadow
satiated this so-called insanity. I'm staring
at this fragile time glass.
Each grain mercilessly finds its
way down the narrow depths. Until
the last grain falls.

To the moist-ridden glass. With pushing,
outstretched arms I feel the
warmth. That never was.

Torrents of emotion fell in
a dark Sunday night. Everything
was groping and unbecoming. Until
your final verdict: FAREWELL.

Heat surged. I cursed Eros. But with
questioning eyes, I looked at
my being - a manifold of
shortcomings. A monochromatic
spectrum of err and
jadedness. A Kremlin of 
ebbed emotions. All the wile, an eerie fog hung
low that dimmed my sight of
dead stars. Yet now... made me see...

All that was left was
one frazzled afterglow.
Shattered yet still flickering.
Dimensionless and beyond forgetting.

In bits and pieces, I pick up the
remains... and try to put them back - all that
was left of you.
Of me.
