Kit Kelen #1200 - after fire

1200

after fire

every mournful aspect praised

in a gloom of gone

you of the miracle still

more worldly than you ever were

after existence

matter yet

of all this world revolving

spun

in space

kept time

after

last breath

last beat

touch

should have done better

been brighter, you think

each of us comes too close to the sun

after life

there isn't

except that we are still

as from waking

so we dream

mistake the same word

for a rhyme

and here we are again discussing it

ways learned

throw all our words at the thing

it is thing to have been

return to corpse pose

love is the thing surviving, passed on

it's memory won't last

the scattering will still bring us together

and we're not quite there yet
