As we seek solitude

As we drift  into oblivion

Alone so nothing

Can distract this soul- 

can’t stop

A man in time but 

you can stop a man’s time on

his wristwatch

as my bones rattle,

 this skin has seen days and light

Stories that sit in each crevice

Of these hands

Nails to hold together

Skin that dresses these veins

Bones and blood

Together we can

  Rise in solitude

For my time has come

to be alone 

....with you

again-
