Hurried encounters marking

Awaiting, voices rise,
layered and partial to memories --
broken and endlessly incomplete;
passing over shallow pools
meant for introspection:
emptied and intense.

Slotted in between murmurs
flowing from places returned,
grounded and recurring
in a temporal blur --

Briefly traced by a hollowed gaze
unmoved and afraid,
of increased rememberings
consigned to linger
in a silent key, as yet
unable to utter futile thoughts

Freely suspended between pieties
hidden, from a deep swelling
insincerity, accrued
by hurrying paces

Leaving, encounters unmemorised --
rendered unrecallable.
