I stopped counting endings when you left.
Until then hours chimed as mellow kill.
Agonized, slow days were duly quartered.

You ask about that clock and I start
counting ours in lies, evasions, scars.
How long until your voice is gone again?

Aloft, crows call sixth sense from quiet blue,
discard bone-heavy moments miles away,
unnecessary feathers fall through clouds.

Two moves ago I left that clock behind.
Time is full-bodied sky but I swear -
I hear phantom chimes when you call.
