A Passing of Hours

The cosmos burns

---

All time is in agreement,

ticking in unshakeable constancy

from grandfather clocks

to children’s wrists,

and each day will come.

---

The universe moves with us

as we spin and set and supernova

---

And always will this hour

turn to the next

and never will condemnèd life

fulfill its will

and stop.

---

Tomorrow will pass

no matter the events of today

---

We fall toward stardust
