Crumbs and Crinkles

Crumbs and Crinkles.

Its not time yet
To be time
For my utterly little
tiny bit of time to begin
With you.
In the meantime
In this fair darkness waiting
I am more...
Than just I-
I am not a here
And not sure
Now is my evermore..
If there's evil
At the core
Crack it open
Smashing into the walnut
Shell of my poem
And your almond eyed
Slanting duet
It wants out.

The crackling energy
Of cautious cavalier words
Exchanging abandon
Paid forward by years of taut restraint.
Darkness glows a big blue globe light
And mocks
My crumbly good fortune!
Live a little
Love a lot
For it won't last
Die a little
Everyday
Forever after that.
Those are only dead cells
you are discarding
after all.
