Earth cools and is sundered,
Lands drown or resurge,
Man termites man;
Only impermanence
...
Once again, "tick tock"
Beats the stairway clock,
As night plays tag with day,
While the hours chime
...
Essence
Earth cools and is sundered,
Lands drown or resurge,
Man termites man;
Only impermanence
Is.
East River River of lambent night,
spiked by the spectral beams
of light
from shore and water homes;
drum for the whisper,
plush for the clarion screams,
indifferent filter of all ferment,
what dreams
sand your floor!
