Time Is Not Time

Time is not time

A reader in a library

Making each book real

For the moment it is read

 

And what remains unread

Remains unwritten

 

The swimmer in the sea

A thousand miles from boat or shore

The mountainous cascading sea

The fear that vivifies each muscle

Each drop of blood

Only that life

At that moment

In that sea
