Moods

One a.m. and
Quiet sinking
Makes itself aware.
Old illusions
Prove to be
No more real than
Me.

Time has passed,
Skin is shed,
Bitter taste I knew is dead
So remains
Discomfort:

Prime time
Bland reality
No more pipe dream
No more rope swing;

Had a dream that woke me,
Had a peace that wrote me,
Friend who had some pictures
In a puzzle --
Missing link.

Long ago the bonded
Broke.

Thanks for coming
Thanks for nothing
Wish the best had never bothered

In the end or in the present,
All comes down to this:

Nevermind the madness,
Pick up all the pieces,
Clean and neat and all smoothed out,
Longing for some creases...

...the time goes by...
