Suspending Time

Suspending Time
David J Walker 

Step 1
Block the clock  
Obscure its view 
Nothing old
Nothing new
Only now in which the 
Me and the you
Commune as the single sum 
Though, in the distance
the chime sounds one

Step 2
Forget every word 
Ever sung 
Ever heard 
In a maddening passion 
For understanding
Accept the pure silence in
The science of
Aphonic visions together
We have known and knew
As the distant chime 
Sounds two



Step 3
Block your brain
Don’t think
Nor even blink
Or follow the rabbit trails
That lead to the failure
Of an unfamiliar nowhere
You are here 
	You can hear
The harmonics of our
Deep breath duet exhaled 
And free
As the distant chime 
sounds three
