So,
this is where we are,
hiding in this house
from what?
Mortality?
Uncertainty congealed
in sickly moments,
knowing one thing but
also another.
And then, of course, the not knowing.
The universe seems so still
but it ripples constantly.
Yes it does.
Everything moves and yet
seems unreal.
We are hiding but
cannot hide from this:
that no meaning will emerge,
no purpose will appear
and time will deceive us all.
