time.

time with a friend. time

after rejection. time it takes

to smoke a cigarette and

look at the passers-by.

time before love. time of

love. time takes away.

time gives. time stretches

violently in involuntary

boredom. time crawls away

into her hole. time chased

away by a missing dachshund.

time of red. time of violet. time

of accepting the fundamental

mystery of divinity. time of

silence between thoughts.

time before you realise

it's not going to work out

well. time of passion. time

of misery. time of miserable

passion. time of meaty

sweet cherries. time stuck

between mirrors. time cropping

up between web-pages. time

leaping out of the window. time

before bed. time for a pencil.
