always

 

never say always

nothing is

 

anyone uses the word

has to have swallowed some poxy doxa

 

tap drips

till the tank is dry

 

nothing was

since before beginning

 

salute yourself

on cue, pretend

 

hedge it from a theft if suits  

that won’t change the fact

 

forever will offend the dead

flags dust and tribes long buried

 

I am my own horizon

we are swallowed by a star

 

and here’s the truth

acquaints itself with words

 

of a language long gone

like every love

 

nameless now the one before

whose atoms we all are

 

forever is fog of thinking

as if a colour were fast

 

as if one word for all

the fire in the book in the heart

 

the all is expanding

soon light won’t reach us or any

 

no one was always here

no one will ever be

 

any refugee will tell you

always is a wishful word

 

anyone aims at eternity

has to be kidding themselves

 

never say never

nor either forever

 

roads don’t end

they run out
