you/i have just
learned that
you/i are
dying.
some hippocratic
ghost
explained the facts &
walked
away.
neither unexpected nor
unnatural, this
news has crushed
your/my
heart.
“what the hell happened?”
why such over
whelming pain?
such biting rage?
such woeful
irony?
“all i want is
my old life
back”
i/we are afraid of
vanishing be
cause we care-for-
eachother.
listen attentively to the
silence––
there is hope for us.
the mythy mountain
glazed with time.
the waterfall endlessly
birthing the
sea. the wind
rushing onward towards
eternity.
each moment matters.
before, then
after.
