RANDOM THOUGHT #12

By

April Salzano

 

 

Power blinks in outages.

 

Timers and clocks stop,

 

cannot reset themselves.

 

Minutes pass just as quickly

 

when we are not counting,

 

slip through the thinning space

 

between night and morning.

 

 

 

 

 

MY MIDDLE NAME IS DYING

a slow death that crawls

rather than runs toward the finish,

an elusive line that shifts like sand,

but is etched in nothing

weaker than concrete. Miraging

makes it appear further away,

but it will not recede, only wave

like heat, blur but return

with determination that does me in.
