#1860 - memento mori


1860

6.33

2.ii.25

memento mori

notes towards

and death is beautiful too

 

worlds stop

but they go on

 

imagine your language under my own

 

things left

like kitchen implement

the watch ticks

 

a little leap joy was

 

to each world its rim

and run of stars

each useless as the next

 

there is no head of moments queued

but dizzy with the onceness still

 

a commonsense snapshot

disclosing fact

 

weep for waste we are

 

how here but gone

 

more with us than you ever were

 

death is beautiful too
