Time mocks me like the impish will-o’-the-wisp: “Places to be, things to see.” Tempting, taunting, twirling me into the gloaming.

Peering past the worn edges through the stacks and stickiness left behind from the words that fell long ago. Yet their residue still remains, smearing the surface and disfiguring the distant image below. Over the cracks and shards of brokenness that lay hidden underneath.
