One Brown Mouse

I saw a mouse today
well, its tail
it was sticking out from a cat’s mouth
and it reminded me how wonderful life is
and how short

Heya, the tail is gone….

and by now it’s almost 3:00am again
time flowing, like running water
I gave up clasping it with clenched fists
in its timely sandy erosion

But, what is left?


The money is gone

the jobs are routines
time disappears
so what is left?
For us, mortal men
a muse does just fine
and is enough for life to be lived
everything else is just an accessory
like falling stars

“in the darkness there's no sympathy

just fear”
