Sobering ache
_____silent sky
three stars in a line:
_____Orion's
belt is as distant
_____as new lives
to which we'll be born.
_____I have failed.
Like you I still cling
_____to this flesh.
I am negligent.
_____What torrents,
what eroding floods
_____shall kill us
should we survive now?
_____A voice, small
and unmusical
_____finds my mind
a void it wants filled
_____with echoes
of unwelcome pasts.
_____I am blind
now but then I saw
_____time grind down.
It spilled dust
_____of untold kalpas
behind us.
