Why write if inks eternal?

Crucified calendars hang from the walls
dying a day at a time
left their feet swinging
so pale and listless
in case one day when I'm walking by
eyes open from inside the places where lines meet
to see in the prodigal days return

when I measured the time by my own light
and dreamt of second string suns
instead of the martyrs second risings
to bring with them the meanings of ink spilled
now in the blinks between christ's marks
I scratch at the words of my dying days
and hope for once that the ink fades
