2/23/14

Midnight approaches

Only so many minutes till midnight
And then six hours until death dawns
In the parchment sunlight that gods
Use to file their taxes

Only so many beliefs left to wander 
Before wandering turns to wakening panic
The kind that turns like time never passing
Squeezing into the abyssal density 
Between here and some allotted rest 

At twelve I know the time is wrong
I forgot to feel my clock before reading it
And now all I have is the last bite 
Less than half 
Emptied into tomorrow
