our loves and our griefs

are equally ephemeral



at the earthly finish each of us is utterly

alone in the earth



our consciousness gone

of all we desired and pursued


with all the vigor we should have used

to pursue our place



in the firmament

but until time is called for


all creation

we will learn not to mourn



the bodies we've left behind

we will learn not to mourn



the limited hopes of each incarnation

we will learn not to mourn



again and again until we've run out of 'agains'

we will learn not to mourn...
