TRUSTY TIME AND THE TEMPORARY TOTALITY OF THINGS
----------------------------------------------
everything gets replaced
even the rocks we build our cities on,
even the air our little lives,
in such fragility,
rely on.
time
and the natural rotation of life
takes us all into account.
whatever we gather into our collections
of trophies and pride
will not be over-looked.
it too will be called upon
to make its second pass,
to separate itself into pieces
small enough to be shared
with everything else,
enough to go around.
in the end
none of our claims will hold water,
none of our boasts will mean a thing.
expect that which makes you special
to vanish.
everything is recycled
even the bones our statures stand with,
even the sun itself will finally fade,
even our strongest loves,
our most painful hates
will no longer be,
will sift away
into a lost memory
which is also
replaced.
