Quantify The Elusive

He scrapes the broken dreams
slowly from the soles
of his shoes
that traipsed across
her heart
picking up the selvage
of his empty words.

Staring at the space
that is filled
with other visions now
he weighs the pros and cons
and looks in her eyes
but once
and she can see he is counting.

Seconds and minutes have flown
on the wind of years
leaving each mile
as another line
another tear
and he steps away
for another drink.
