The Inescapable End

From the withering trees

To the smallest infant, our numbered days begin perhaps before we draw breath

I don't fear it

But the idea of the hammer falling without stopping is unnerving

No man can stop it

Not with the greatest tools or science

It does not discriminate

In the end, it takes it all away

Eating it up with a thirstless hunger

We are bound to it like a bride and cannot be divorced from her bindings

Yet people say that we shouldn't worry about the end

They themselves puzzle over it for endless nights

For this reason, always say goodbye

Who knows if you will ever see the light of day again
