AGAIN

 

AGAIN

negligence arising
failed negative steps from
points that never
need to be made again

there, there in the light
the shadows
always together
light shadow
neglected

rising to step
outside the light
always close to shadow
a point never needed to be made
from the neglected failings
of shadows

again inside from the again outside
as a tic-tok
that clock that doesn't rise
to a step
always landing on a point
of light shadow

again the neglected step that doesn't rise
as shadow falls just outside
light
tic-toc
