No more distant spices
no sun no heat no seas
now the future;
those dreams.
Wet hair suspended clocks
milk wool chalk synthetic fabrics
gone.
Time is roving.
Leather nylon plastic dry-clean
solids neutrals appropriates
dried ink cold keys;
They have filled in.
I do not dare to look back,
my forgotten hamlet;
I once built so bright,
only to follow,
now.
