Two
Recurring dreams
Nightly tormenting
The hideous fate
A climactic point
In shortening
Temporal dimension
The spatial void
Of a world shrinking
Amonst an explosive
Human world
Ever growing
To turn the clocks down
And to move
The mountain of humanity
In an undercurrent of desperation
To comprehend the world
In a single embrace
Of a sea shell
To shed an ocean
Of tear drops
In a deluge upo the land
A prophecy in the making
Could it be different?
Might it not change?
What is it
in life or in death?
The mellow music
of living and dying
hums in my ears
