Unravelling...
Like an
endless spool of yarn...

Constant flow
of thoughts,

only punctuated

perfectly still,
with his back,
one with the ground.

What happened to us?

How did warm incandescence
turn callously incendiary?

Did we ignite too quickly,
burn too fiercely,
only to die out prematurely?

Where did the ash from our bodies go,
if not carried away by the winds of time?
