Poem: Remembrance

An unhappy day.

A dot in the constellation of days,
And life goes on
Until the end and then who cares?

The unimaginable stretch of space,
The unimaginable stretch of time –
Imagine it.

Sit, slug-eyed and reminiscent,
Angry and/or depressed,

You’re just one more fragment of the world,
One more body drawing breath,

Until you don’t.

Do you do what you can, did you do what you could?
