Drain

reflecting on pop's memorial 13 Aug 2021
memoirs
we 
  built 
       a 
        fire 
            to 
              say
                  goodbye 
        gathering 
   near
the 
   ashen 
        remains
               nothing 
                       stays
                    not 
                even 
           flame
                 neither 
                        night
                    nor 
                 day 
          escapes
                  creation 
                is 
              a 
                constellation
                              of 
                           the 
                         ways
                              everything
                                          drains
                                                  in
                                                      time
                                                           .
