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
