it is time that hits us all
the linear transmutation
one moment it goes so
slow then the next it goes
as if it was late like that
rabbit we read about in
school: in college, in life
with kids, without. a tense
a cleaning - an awakening
then it is done. all done
dickinson knew this as well
blake and frost and all those
forced to be read before
we can fathom the truth
the lies they lay before us
death is good death is not
bad - if only we could remember
embrace it as the finish line
it is - and a restart of what
we left undone and what is
yet to be....
