hours

 

hours

 

white noise and

the scream of the undone

and

plans and

plans and

planning and

 

the hours grow long

and long

 

memory stains motion

motion mourns motive

motive mars memory

and

the hours grow long

 

white noise clouds

and

does not release

remainders

reminders

remainders

rolling rolling rolling

roiling

remaining

and the hours

grow long

and no witness

but the undone

 

the hours hang on

and

the reminders remain

and

the undone reminds

remains

reflects

regrets

and

the white noise rises

rejects

remains

and the hours grow

long and long

 

long and long

 

The hours grow long
