106 years later

what is to be done
with all the memories of forgetting
all the trivia –
red ants, dead people, shooting stars


what is to be done
with all the anger of grief
all the madness –
flames leaping up, zombies in terror, sullen postcards


what is to be done
with all the rain that never fell
all the history –

candles burning, candles burning on, candles snuffed out.
