It's been a long winter, long week

Folder: 
Time hurries on

I shed skin like the tide
Ebb and flow and changing my
mind
Broken toy,
I keep the pieces in a box
With lint, fingernail clippings,
rocks

Ideas are my carbon flecked diamonds
And they jangle in here,
too –
Too afraid to come near

I am neap and nadir
I fade
