clocking dance inside i dream you are here all nothing and everything to continue a life.

clocking time watch the years go by

dance fills the space a partner left to right

inside sit books now full

i write

dream made visible after paint dries

you arrive

are whole

here while

all of time describes

nothing 

and no time as

everything sentient

to some 

continue in death

a life.
