only time

entry picture

Can time shoulder

the weighted ticks

and tocks

of sadness?

as an unspoken sigh 

arrows  its loss

in measured

wants and pulls,

I let the fingered

point of these

counted and now

lost moments

scribe my sorry shrug.

Beautifully conceived and expressed Tommy - it grips you by the mental balls and has the great quality of simplicity coupled with immediate effect on the emotions, obviously coming from direct experience of depths.
