And then...

And then one day I saw your face
On the back of dream I had
While waiting for the rain to start

And enigmatic effigies were wrought
For this timeless love
That beat the clock

And five years later it is six years later
Consciousness cohering continually
Consequence: regression is not an option

And retreat is not recommended
It is contraindicated in this affliction
Survival of the fittest fantasies

And then one day it is eight months later
Breathing and being becoming habitual
Retreating, impossible; resuming inevitable.
