Time

Spindles crash and weave no more
Time it spins across the floor
Yarns mix up, colours bleed
I follow threads, they are the feed
Fingers feel, soles are placed 
What is this chaos interlaced 
Tangled up criss crossing fro
Is it distinct segments of the show
Makes no sense, the world's unhinged
Centre missing, edges singed 
Echoes layered core by core
I know this much, forget some more
Suns reflect and blind the few
Darkness is beginners cue
Tearing pictures off the walls
Terrifying void filled falls
Veins in wings, eyes they sting
Unfathomable empty jettisoned thing
No time passes, murmurs sound
Minute by second, hour by pound
No grip on day, sun taken away
Brought back too bright, it's night, it's night
Shushed to sleep, too deep, too deep
Hear them calling, mauling, stalling
Linear time, ticks and tocks
Something starts, nothing stops
Empty trains, veers off track then changes lanes
Hook me up, once more to mains
No death in chains, tap tap the canes
Time stands still, hear screams shrill
Sewn shut eyes, mouth speaks nil
Passing time, regurgitate
Wrap my head round idea of fate
