¨The Currency of Time¨


The currency of time passes through sleeves and starched collars

through gorges, cleavage and gripping fingers

Stirring the restless, the quiet

the forgotten forgetfuls and troublesome kind

It clears paths over flat land and bare backs

garnished with bread crumbs, fresh flowers

and the beating hooves of wild boys

gnawing the ankles of the men

they shall become.
