Dark days beckon


Every dim-lit candle burns away 
wistful melting wax reveal, 
an ill-formed layer - cold-gray ash, 
the burnt calendar days and rotations 

Passing across a channel or walking along an edge, 
the brow beckons inevitably 
to barren landscape below, 
to time well-traveled 

Every dim-lit hand of minds’ decay 
watching in waste’s rotation, 
a permeation of broken ideas or trite remainders 
through worn pages, dimming screens 

Passing through some type of afterlife, 
some pervasive move into 
the post-mortem of certain ideas, 
to permanent reminders

MM 7/16
