Demolition
Sledgehammer blows:
The timbers crack and bend.
Glass shatters and time, too —
But not space
Time’s fragments
Reconstitute themselves.
But if space were to split apart
From the blows of the Will,
Well, the debris of our works and
days
Would slip through the fissures —
Coins for wishes
Into a bottomless well,
Never to redeem the moments again
