Poems
Apr 2016
Inside a star
The fleeting, yes, my heart’s desire
the barely-there, a wraith
Ephemera, whispers on the wind,
impermanence my faith.
I tremble before the eternal
faced with nature’s stand
Beneath a soaring mountain,
being scoured and withered to sand.
In the shadow of mighty forever
I teeter above the abyss
Toes inching and sending down trickles
the landslides remind me of this.
I sleep in perfect hollows
and cut my teeth on bone
The glory of calcification
rolls in my mouth, I am home.
Cascading the ones gone before me
throughout my own blood by their dust
Absorbing a lifetime in seconds,
turning my fillings to rust.
Temporal consumption thus rendered,
my heart winds to stillness sublime
How quickly we flash to our endings,
how rapid the animal time.
