A Pome a Day for a Year

New year, watch out here,
you may find exactly what
the search has been about
and then where will you be?

Journey with me, this is how it should be,
times are rolling onward
and our vehicle is full
with all our grimy greed.

What can you say, but come what may,
we are in this a pair,
connected by invisible chains
friendship is stronger than blood.

Somebody once said, allow me my thread
of memories pulled through skin
and hair, with deft clasps
and forked tongue, as I recall:

We are locked, I got you clocked,
everything you need you already lost,
and the search dare not cease
for the abyss lays in wait.
