the expectation of forever

for godsbother

 

is once you are aware

 

how can things end as we know?

 

when here’s the sky as round

a day comes next

 

just think how we came

 

the wishfulness always

provided at expense of thought

 

shop changes hands

walls come clean

 

they’ll clear after us when gone

 

there’s something colourless though

imagine

 

you see how a bird dies into flight

that’s your mind’s eye elsewhere

 

the expectation of forever

is something to bequeath

 

blind to the world and what’s known

as told in the prophetic books

of heresy against all truth

 

forever burns through the page of hours

 

it trains hearts up true to vine

 

dull gossamer, unveiling angel

and that could be us, you know

 

every god rots here

we’re far

 

like most things believed in –

the expectation of forever

is cause of war and woe

and so

 

it makes us each less than we are
