the scarcity of time becomes
too much to waste.
still the pain lasts
and grows
as cells turn too brittle
too emaciated to hold a good memory.
no wonder we miss the sign
pulsing against our eyelids.
the message we won’t accept
takes too much time to get through:
some forgetful god is unable to shape an answer other
than
no.
