from a small gesture
are born the greatest heroes.
humanity’s soul.
flash flame
metamorphosis.
the boy’s long walk to manhood.
my life flashing by.
biting earth
the frosted wheat land
covered in pure white icing.
take a bite of earth.
mirror image
goodbye my lost life.
goodbye to what never was.
life’s rear view mirror.
fabric of time
the sighing of breath.
the long, wet wilting goodbyes.
drawing the curtains.
wink of time
in the old lizard
eyes, I walk eons of time
in just a quick wink.
