There Was a Time (Rondeau Prime)
There Was a Time
14-07-17
There was a time, once long ago,
When I was paid to kill many a man.
I roamed throughout deserted lands,
Collecting gold and jewels as pay –
Many a time was spent wasting away
While I watched the gun within my hands –
There was a time.
It's said you reap what it is you sow,
And I reaped rewards from clueless clans,
Whose necessities drowned in time's last sands
As they diced with whether to stay or go;
There was a time.
Literature
deadpan apnea
all you could fall out of
and what i could look forward to
call constantly
when i should be keeping them secret,
sleeping in secret,
and not stalling
and stalling.
all you could fall out of
and all i could fall into
are repeating and repeating
absurd naiveté
like this is part of my healing,
this unending feeling of seizing
and not breathing
and breathing.
Literature
rememorari
I keep memory in absence
though your story has
a long forgotten ending
I will bury my ghosts
in the afterlife of moments
and let effort be a windowsill
to the crematorium of burdens,
the echo of living the ashes of longing,
a cemetery of remembrance
and in your memory I find
someone to stay
