Framing Moonlight

Time crawl, come on back
Rhymes bawl, losing track
Memory seeps into a dream
Where everything’s as it once seemed

Seconds stick around
Eight feet on the ground
Smiles wearing crowns
Snowmelt desert town

Messing with seconds
Losing track of hours
Stirring up weeks and
Living in the same city as time
Near the airport, I nearly lost my mind

Minutes drip at night
Movie butter sight
Perfect twirl and bite
Solemn taking flight

Time arch, bend this way
Stars march, sunsets sway
Distance sweeping up a storm
Framing moonlight’s sudden warmth
