There is something about the way of things.
Yes,
you can deny
these slipping nights
but at your peril.
Counting stars does not
bring the sky any closer
there is no meaning in the inevitable,
and you cannot slow it down.
Let it all go. Accept the flow.
Yes, you may be trying to see
the end of the universe
the edge of knowing
but even there,
something
happens
next.
