Analysis of long day
dismantle in layers the edge
round the corners
of another day
orchestra of a million bugs
ask the sun to lay down his head
a second gone forever
tomorrow will forget today
her memory getting worse
as time soars
second after second
ticking it's warning
like a hidden bomb
one day closer to dust
and the immortal soul
