an old face

 an old face


you can try to add to black

but all you get is un-blacker


let the stubble of a light wheat

creep beneath the fenced countenance

of time’s erudition


and you get a ripple

a plink from time’s well

across a held gaze


oh yes

time is of the essence

at a pupil’s unblinking

for the next moment 

may never come
