ONCE
 
ONCE, WE WERE HERE
SILENT, IMMUTABLE, CERTAIN
CHILDREN, SLEEPING BENEATH THE TIDE,
FORMS WOVEN INTO EARTH
NO ECHOES REMAIN, NO MONUMENTS ENDURE,
THE WINDS HAS FORGOTTEN OUR NAMES
AS IF TIME WOULD AVERT ITS GAZE
DON’T YOU REMEMBER
ONCE WE WERE HERE
THE WORLD, A VAULT OF ABSENCE
MAKING MORTALS IMMORTAL
INDIFFERENT, UNBURDENED, UNREMEMBERED
IT DOES NOT GRIEVE
DO YOU?
