#1501 - nothing always was, nothing always will be

 

1501

5.40

9.ii.24

nothing always was, nothing always will be

 

consider just these words

where they’re from and go

 

how brief the breath

 

think lifeless matter

wires tripped

 

on your marks, a whistle

kick off

 

none of it lasts

nor all of the trumpets to tell

 

gorgon, chimera

the bones of the saints

 

broken dragons

key of C

 

it’s every deity to dust

 

none make it to the end of time

 

the road runs out

all loves and equal loathings

 

this pedantry shortlived

 

punchline, joke

all haunting’s fizzle

 

days of the week, the hours

neither God nor the idea

 

even the triangle’s in question

(at least your thinking it)

 

or is there after all?

none know!

 

you may dream on

with fellow feeling

 

slogan, sly wink

 

the music stops

the chairs are gone

 

the parcel’s all passed out

 

where’s Eeyore?

tail long gone

 

not the flower

not the garden

not the old nostalgic song

 

not this frail form

nor any sky

tin smoke

 

our star to its death as all must

no one there to witness

 

nothing forever

but now
