Fermion

The world turned.                            again dawn affirmed.                     the tick                                            one second                      one day                                           

Closer now
yet further
as though nothing
could protect the Sun

Burning lye
rises numb
yet nothing
wakes the sleepers

Regret relentless
Regret
never free
seemingly grooved
again
never found

Fumbled combinations
make
old love
a labour

Isolated
resisting
time
no more

Forever
no more

It’s pain
we surround

Mother hurt you
empty house
cold crevices
rain in

Shuffling
ever
the half light
habitual

Remember time felt
different
back
things
were
different
