What's On?

for all our efforts and clever phrases

we are terminally fleeting

it’s true

no abstraction

you don’t take a breath                        it’s merely borrowed

and discarded

until there’s nothing left in the bank –

there are 6324 gods and goddesses

in my head alone

devoted to diminishing this fear

of standing bare in the waning light.

so breathe in and breathe out

and reach for the television remote.
