The steel bars <br />are eaten by salt <br /> <br />rust is a fading <br />memory <br /> <br />the wooden frame <br />of the window turns <br />hollow <br /> <br />the termites are <br />disappointments <br /> <br />what then lasts forever? <br />your love? your heart? <br /> <br />it settles for a stroke <br />in just one stroke of <br /> <br />neglect of a mistake <br />and so? <br /> <br />take note, nothing, <br />nothing lasts forever <br /> <br />your soul? do you <br />still worry? <br /> <br />a bush that burns <br />a flame in flames<br /><br />RIC S.
