A Stranger TimeA Poem by PerditionI feel the cold, drained elation passing, Each augment lesser than before Tapping in coded morse a plated mercury roaming the bubble dark muzzled teeth and bright cups poured from warm knitted kitchen I hear incessantness Wild voices of war and guilt; fog in the shelling of emotion. Sweeping in the open door, the secret of the screen; the mild retreat of streams and streams of furthermore. The teetering heads, Yawning back, the growing fragments of fear while fatigue prowls the vision. I will, along with all things of matter - be lost to the last days of this interpretation And you wonder if you have my forgiveness; of all
things... This mindful
you, Setting
my empty porcelain plate and wood of blinds as bare as the body cracked. Reflecting out the charms of our bell jar You take
the face of a straggler, Clearing drips of gauze from my wounds, and from my curiosities But these are the last of things I ever intended for you. These have all but passed. My presence is a sculpture now from a handful of clay A dryness cast. Floating in the fresh apple air, The shy drips from evening My last glance at rewards. All of it Now belongs with you
The plank and shade stone made bridge, The melted hour , The distance we journeyed to travel only inward and the cotton trees that smolder in the gray days of August these are the last of this melting mind that gives the glance away. The last intrusion, Soon, again returned to the coming hands and hours of our strange, conclusions with time.
