Yesterness

Y E S T E R N E S S

Soon
This semibreve 
[ of preciousness 
breath of spacious restlessness 
nestled between endless
Before and Afterness ]
Will be nothing but
A misremembered memory.

You and me
Wrapped around each other’s 
Company
Earnestly,
Tenderly
I watch the sun 
Waltz and run her way
Through a discordant maze 
[ your coiled crest
an undressed mess,
dispossessed and
  stressed in the arrest
of the hour’s timelessness ]
And bestow her golden ode
On our hollowed road
Where time has slowed
In this discommode
Dusk 
Warms our solitude, us
Weeping gratitude 
For this interlude of
You and me
Abundantly,
Aimlessly wandering
Disillusioned ponderings and
Worlds of our idling 
Grasp ever-tightening as
Your bishops and kings
Sing hymns of my
Slaughtering.

In the absence of Day
We unfind our way around
New grounds and these
Empty sounds in which we drown
[ yet blessed
to nest to rest
as we digress from conquest
in this recessed mess ]
And hold to ourselves
In this ageless cell
O lovemade spell
Where dawn swells and
Twilight dwells.

Soon 

This semibreve
[ ofpreciousness
breathofspaciousrestlessness
nestledbetweenendless
BeforeandAfterness ]
Will be nothing but
A misremembered memory.

So 
In your misrememory
I beg you, please

remember me.
