Time

By Lydia Manx

Shadow cultures - vapid
Crimes against the soul
Frequency stale against time

Time - marches and runs away
The window is closed
Was there ever enough?

Like water in the desert
Children in the night
Ghosts of memories

Clocks, watches, points on the horizon
Freeze and fix the moments
Infinitely lost with measure.
