Joseph Nicks

The Clouds Slip So Silently By

 

as do the years,

more slowly

but no less surely

in all their

fourth-dimensional

invisibility

 

life washes over us

spontaneous

and mutable,

as often as not

evading expectations

 

in its wake are left

the pools of fond

remembrances

and sorrow

 

that only deepen

with the distance

and the days

 

even though “just yesterday”

can no more be re-fondled

than a hundred

or a thousand years ago
