Flashback of First Times

How glum to think of gone
First moments, distanced
Youth; memories like print
Where love’s gone amiss. 

Farewell once seen cities; dreams
Pour back to hand as smoke to mouth.
Sculpt wheel’s pliant clay in hopes --
Better solar stay in echoes of caves

Begone first spun knob of we,
Eroded locks of keys unpaired,
Frozen hearts in halfway land,
Bereft optics as eclipsed sky, 
Sun burns down on too-late cries.
