that which bereaves
the fickle flecks of folly. Here, they lie
in stone, set in
stone, set in
time.

How nice to be dry, and wave
to the patience I gave
you, flighty trick of candle. Light, it waves
and you wash out
in waves, nothing
grows.

How but once did I call, and strike
all the dowry of
your seething façade. There, you see
it worn, to be
torn, never
worn.

How repetitive it grows more
repetitive, each
time I inhale the sighs. Still, it is
water over the
dam. Damn the
water, it’s
over.

How I wish I could quit, and leave
frivolities. Believe
the holy dark of night. There, it sinks
in the sky, to
the sky, lost in
time.
