Every day
The same sun sets
And rises
Over horizons
Longing once again
For its irreplacable touch.
Centuries melt away
Like liquid clay
Over starving embers
Of what we wish to say.
Carefully carving the mold
That exponentially becomes
Harder to break,
Around what could have been.
So as mortal December approaches,
We've reached our end years
While solidified tears
Stay frozen,
Leaving our tokens
Concrete gestures
That fall in the wind
Unbroken
To pleasure and sin.
But we'll live our life
One moral obligation at a time
And be confined
To the strife of the mime -
Silently cursed
Since the birth of reason
To disguise
Our darkest patterns
And tone down the light
In our guttural shines,
To blend into each other's shadows
And travel accident micrometers
At a time...
