The Dilated Song

Wish I could slow down
the song I play,
buying dilated time.
Its tempo reigned in,
but it's timbre intact,
for I dare not change the tune.

Will it help the dreams 
linger on in a trance,
a tad longer,
a minute or two,
a second or an hour,
a day or eternity.

The song heralds eternity,
and it plays in a loop.
Alas, time, its vagaries,
is linear, is a knife.
It rips open the winter jacket,
but it cuts cakes too...

-- Leslie
