Time is a reckless revelation


Time is a reckless revelation
corrupting matter and me
as I pass through these winter woods
with fear of all dark ends,
wincing when the wind cries.

Just a shell of bone and skin
I call my home in vain,
decaying by the thread of winds
that drift from railroad tracks
with eyes that wait for snow.

A searing stare burns the tree,
a meeting fills the eye
with regrets of tales unwritten,
of ties and fleeting turns,
searching for small footprints in snow.
