Millions of humans plants animals
Eternal soul cycles destiny
Guides random chaos on which
Order restores itself
A universe of things folds
Valleys and mountains
Origami people like storks and
Crows they fly and fall on my table
Thrown like dice
And tossed to be paper again
Doves glow like fireworks across a black sky
Scythes glint like scissors and eyes and bones
A string is taut cut and tied together
My body eternal my soul a candle
Flicker knows one day it will burn into nothing
Or blow out forever.
