For When I Am Old Time

I’m dying

The hard spots at the throat

And pages of old time

Show me

As I make silent words

Gentle thoughts

To myself.

I feel I might

Rise

Never stopped dreaming

Ever stopped cherishing

And as I write

More than breathing

And ask, for why

I’m “dying”

Troubled, fascinated

With affection I begin

To truly live.

Not a note is lost

Or a tear

They live in pages

In fond memories

Pictures and photographs

In fond memories

The timeless ache

Of the heart for one another

They are all somewhere

So deep I may not find

Yet, as with love

I will take the answer’s hand

In the end.

Up, hear the odd calls It may be a burble, or the scatter of animal chatter Press your fingers into tools or bricks forming words While grey, then black, then still skies spool ahead. By J.W.H. Hobb

I found this week how interesting it was seeing another person’s approach to an academic paper. There’s guideline suggestions, a CASP paper at the ready, and the normal read is surveying the terrain.

Back of the Throat

Mucal membranes block the throat We lose our air and start to choke With regularity, in dark times Full function is hard to find It will pass, or it will not Each wound, bound and unsleeved thought
