brief thoughts

passing instants

time slips
into past
twisting,
spiraling,
silver mists
shrouding future,
obscuring present—
ever darkly shining.

can you see it?
ticking—
five after seven,
half thirteen—
each moment
complete,
wanting nothing.

I lost my pocket watch
between clouds
of lotus blossoms—
spinning through wind,
invisible.
