A Timepiece;
manifest in stone
and hardly soft, but worn.
A wonder;
pregnant with moments and centuries,
flashbulbs and geology,
lovers and families,
and ice cream melting faster than you could ever lap it up.
An ocean;
rolling over the edge in that second she looked away.
And we don't pretend to pour ourselves
into pools that could never collect so soon downriver.
Drink now
and reflect on her glowing face
speckled with droplets like God's own tears
Remember
before the current is past
manifest in stone
and hardly soft, but worn.
