test post

a strange little star

twinkled into life

as you tumbled into the world

collapsing in your bed

at the end of the day

dark cars outside sliding past

in puddles splashing

your children striding past you

into infinity

the earth precesses

whirling about it’s axis

the arrow of time

brushes past your face

the deafening buzz of a distracted life recedes
