time like marching ants.
with no care for any path.
the breath comes and ends.
tick tock
black ribbons of time.
spinning wheels keep on spinning.
time as a quick clock.
death debts
drowning the pennies.
the many millions of them.
can we pay death off?
nine thousand more
yellow ball bounces.
up and then down through the arc.
nine thousand breaths more.
Shine On
rings of the great tree.
beauty comes with many years.
the spirit shines on.
gray nostrils
bubbles of gray sky.
heaving like snot from nostrils.
oppressed but living.
