Maybe one hour

is all we have

to know about

the many deaths we've

survived.

 

Time submits

while eternity

steps into

 the gap

made deep by grief.

 

The hot wind and tree stained water

our only memories

of home.

 

One moment-

perhaps only now-

to remember what it is

to be alive

with all of the elements

of infinity swirling

inside.
