Whatever Happened To Yesterday?
naked but for the regret
that tears freedom from
the hearts of
the willing
and fearless, so they say,
are the ones who try
to succeed
yet merely preceding
the others
in the gravity that
surrounds them
holds them
carries them down
betraying each with
the burden of time
as the precious ones
look on with envious eyes,
slip silently
from
innocence
