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.

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.
