By Karina Bush
A grey wall
between us
frames of decay
Sinking into a thought
I don’t want to accept
While my body is young
ripe in the midday sun
an urge to burn
unbearable suchness
In the ashes
in the quantum
when our bodies
finally break down
The matter between us
will not exist
The oceans
The wrong turns
The deeds
Meanwhile
We miss all the love
its impermanence
