Voices float, cross, melt, fade, and dissolve
like footsteps
like footsteps
and glances
Recognition sparks, jabs, irritates, and overwhelms
like hunger
and desire
Breezes whisper, cling, insinuate, and ruffle
like memory
and forgetting
Shadows fall, stretch, deepen, bite, and swallow
like animals
and passion
like animals
and passion
Light imposes, hints, confronts, argues, and conquers
like birth
and death
Time creeps, crawls, flies, laughs, breaks, and disembowels
like love
and hate
