yesterday's year
has passed
(past)
and gone ...
dragging
pieces of me
with it.
as a loud menacing snow shovel
scrapes all the deformed chunks
of snow and life and
deposits them at the side of the road
and then moves on.
webs of experience
and memory.
they slowly melt
into a sea of fading dreams
and dirty water,
d r a i n i n g
toward the rushing sewer
that carries off
yesterday's year
into the tunnels
of things forgotten.
tomorrow's year
is just commencing
with each new flake of shared existence.
