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