Shaving

growing round the middle
the shape of time
in a mirror suddenly

seeing a face looking
intently into itself:
there are years that have

passed and have no footnote
no hook to hang memories
of drinking and smoking

of work and sleep
time spent in front of a TV
piled on like layers

collapsing the dream of tomorrow
or lost and living in a dream
now lost in the morning light
