Friday haiku 125

Time is like water
Always yielding
Always winning

Point

Do we comprehend reality?
That, finally, all we are
are faults in time, enough to pause
the relentless entropic urge,
but never to stop it?

All humanity has imagined
that it alone was the point,
all those nameless, greaseless corpses,
a poverty of sand and wind.

Who ever remembers them?

We have our own issues,
our own duty,
to create a universe
to be forgotten in its turn.

In the unscrubbed mirror: Stork I

There is a heaven where
Storks clean their wings
And keep the earth
Clear of all that crawls
And stings

The light there
Is unbearably true
