Temporal Deceit


I am shifting through time again.
Misplacing moments.
Remaking them in my mind.

I've been telling myself
Beautiful lies about yesterday.
Forming stories for tomorrow.
Creating new memories
And manufacturing a better right now.


I was close to convincing myself
That I could hold back
The granules of my hour glass.
But my feet have shifted
And the weight is dragging me down.

So let me mislay the sand,
In a closet
Or an empty drawer.
And I'll step into nevermore
For a little while.
