orgami's Diaryland Diary

Time Out

time slips through the
slender waist of the glass
like ambrosia warmth
alcohol soothing
and haunted
awake awake
the ghosts
to slake
their want
their hunger

never ending

the dream
never waking
but walking

I sit and feel
the sun at the waterfront
and birdsong singer
on rose bush
small and wonderous

the islands far out
of reach
mirage-less

but I wait
wait for the slow
ease to take me
to a calmness
that cannot be replicated
from any bottle
any pill

soothing this sun
this breeze caressing
