Tempus

Clay between my fingers,

thick, dusty streams of loss.

In the mud sits a bud,

its life fleeting. Over.

Look at the stars, 

a pavement for wars!

Or the feelings we bear,

undressed, gasping for air.

Breathing in the wretched air,

nothing more do I wish for 

than a wooden cross.

Who's heart now controls me?

Where have I left myself?

Dripping ink on my skin - 

slow poison comes from within.

What we were meant to be ...

Was it ...

a haunting flutter

of a butterfly's wings?
