Stacks and Piles
Virginia Salter

stacks and piles
lie about
a record of our time
spent now
both in and out
left without a rhyme

no reason comes
to fill our day
no sanity of clime
just stormy thoughts
our words convey
and eat away the rime

the narrowness
of how we see
our vision’s not but crime
an echo
of the past’s portrayed
in each and every chime

hours ticked away
my friend
or foe deep in the slime
what would be
a sweet abode
has fallen ill to time
