Gristmill


No matter what
Our machinations,
Our time gets eaten up

Seconds seep, lost in thought
In sickness or sorrow
Whole chunks disappear

Youthful hourglasses
Half-full of sand
And half-empty later days

Happiness and joy
Draw deep from our reserve,
Swallowing our time in quick, greedy gulps

Day-to-day routines
Ever-consuming regular bites
… And much sleep
