describing the end of it ~ not many will understand

 describing the end of it ~ not many will understand 


the orifices the lacunae the foramina

have all healed or are close to closing

however much prising comprises effort

time is closing time for it is time

its time has come as we knew it would

not looked for or looked at

but can a weir stop a river

can a waterfall climb back up


none can it can’t 


the damn door has slammed shut 

the key is outside of the outside of warmth

and no amount of asking will break ice

nothing will melt the hard icicle

which will break the foundations of the palisade 

at the boundary state of two hearts 


don’t you yell no at me

are you here

can you feel the recoil 


spare me the show-ground caricature

the penny-slotted haw haw dummy

this would be serious if it were not time’s fingerprint 

the dead all died this way

it is the keystone in the scree of time

and the stones are so so cold


oh that is wasn’t 

but it is

it has started


and that’s the end of it


never will the length of an ache be known
