Hours to Fill

I've hours to fill these days
those sixty-second decades
occupy each place I go,
the dust thick about my home
a fit, sad place to write her name.

The ominous thud that fills my ear,
another beat of labored heart -

     Soft, fair-pale skin
     tender searching hands,
     hair dripping from mornings' shower
          traces across my waking chest;
     those morning glory memories
     go now weeping away.

Thoughts and will should end in love
in the end.
