Timeless

Everything loses value with time.

I ought to amplify the noises that drown out yesterday's thoughts,

so today I flood myself with shallow joys.

Must I drive myself blind,

or sever the innumerable ties,

just to sit in your cocoon.

Each little kindness,

each thoughtful gesture,

every aide just as I needed it,

now headstones in my lonesome sepulcher.

And so I lay amongst the granite,

hoping to revive what lies beneath.
