The Death of a Moment

How suddenly a moment dies

How final--

Like a stillbirth--

So rarely mourned

So rarely treasured

Infinity makes a moment seem

As insignificant as I feel

Amongst the billions on this earth

Like a trembling bird a moment dies

One jerk of a hand

Sweeps each moment away

Like a blackboard--

Forever erased
