12/23/23 "Wound Fate"

We're on the right timeline;
tapping the glass
as seconds go by.
Rare is once loved,
maybe forgotten,
except by a few
who live it,
day and night.
Is this you?
Another age.
I thought we might
have something in common
but the differences -
another language.
But I don't wish for
more time,
to walk backwards,
wake the dead;
there's too much faith
already
in the currency of youth,
to not just accept my fate.
