Accumulation

An accumulation

of youth and dreams

An accumulation

of tests and trust

A dust of words

A film of touch

A clutter of scowls

A handful of sighs

Restless gazes

Furtive moves

Spooned bodies

Spent juices

A faint memory

A wistful hope

A pondering of time

A vacant ache

Moments alone

Walking and sitting

Thinking and wishing

Longing and holding

An accumulation

Of smiles and laughs

An accumulation

Of being and ash
