Continuum

[nonspatial]

moments lost

a confetti of memories
fluttered from the sky
covering his hair with
white specks.
thinking that they
were snowflakes he
shook them off/ out of
his head.
the sound of boots
crunching on the snow
packed tundra startled
his thoughts and
gathered in a heap his
mind was swept away
with the rushing gust
of an empty bus-
reminding him of
something he forgot
on his way from here
to there.

his life,

an irritating distraction.


years lost


some people got rhythm,
some people got clypthm.
paper clyps-
clyp boards-
fingernail clyppers-
clypped enunciation-
foot tapping clypthm-
in clyptic metaphor-

[disregard the above clyp shots]

abbreviated life
clipped off
(spirit)
left behind
between here
and
obscure
my dear.
last year, snowflakes
this year, raindrops-
lost but not looking
for the
found
is
forever
missing.


a lifetime lost


beginning of time
beginning of life
beginning of story
beginning of the end


end of time
end of life
end of story
end of the beginning
