This is no London Bridge
fall down ending, no happily
good note winding down. If
you build to last a thousand
years, the thousandth year
arrives anon.
.
Ashes are dust made of a
once drempt scheme,
Ozymandias syndrome,
time as wind eroding. Nothing
condensed to an airless void
is the product of patched
expectation.
.
Ideas or statues, tall palacial
executions, each ferment then
rise as beauty, as everlast. A
dust mote settles atop its
dismembering future portions.
Rain wash, gravity pull, atoms
unbound are means leading
nowhere.
.
Not a sad thing, not dirge, not
prediction. A fact simple. Up
is relative, down a certitude. Do
and die thinking things thought
last. Lifetime long, millennia,
a supposition says always, but
pyramids will dust and go
back into the beginning stuff
of nothingness eventually.
