Tiresias Remembers

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.
