Minutes Pass

Daylight Dies


minutes pass 
stretching lines into my past 
people breath 
in and out right next to me 
closing hand 
burning thoughts like a photograph 

faceless frames of this life 
lose all shape and color 
and all this time the ground is rising 
a broken body can never move on 

i can see it clearly 
i was never here 
i can see it clearly 
i've been dead all these years 

paper thin 
counting marks that stain my skin 
lowered eyes 
pass the grid of my window screen 
tiled floor 
just the same as the hours before
