Incantations for a Rooftop Exorcism #2: Exorcism of Youth[1997]

Letting drift out my ears
a sieve of time
Letting slip my precious years
a breath of wine
Drawing in vapors of fall
a death of kinds
Drawing on my aged pall
a thread unwinds
Losing time the sun sinks low
a scent of pine
Losing sleep the ice will grow
a taste of chyme
