Time Lost

Like that Left Sock

By The Shattered PoetPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Time

Forever not

Falls behind dryers

Like socks

Not remembered

Clean socks

Forgotten by unwashed feet

Swept away

Decomposing

In the warm forrest

With dust

Bunnies leap

On the waves

Of air

Thrashing

As heels crash

Test dummies smashing into walls

Thoughts race underneath

The weight

Minds

Upside-down

Hanging

In the balance

Justice

Plays hide

I seek

Eyes

Strained

Searching surroundings

Sure

Sounds great

When I get what I came

Four friends

Build

Square o’ strength

Strong circle

Shapes

Geometry of connection

Lost en the in-between

Time

Like socks

Not to see feet again

Soon to have

Another friend

Forgotten

Behind the

Dryer

The Shattered Poet

Healing through creative introspection.

A writer, or a visual artist who paints with words in straight lines, haha; either way, enjoy the reads!
