Human Figure

the stream of time keeps flowing without affirmation or negation meaningless revolutions of doomed creation earth, sun, moon and stars today is yesterday’s tomorrow time extended, a lengthened moment springs, summers, autumns, winters impelled and thrust by power unknown unwilling to compel each other desiring instead to die, to fade as vanquished warriors lost in battle dishonored by their native people writhing specks in vast creation are like unto the vanquished warrior and the seasons compelling always they wish to rest eternally for sake of death alone they breathe for sake of living yet they breathe weary, desiring to reach oblivion which from beginning was their desire hence cast away today’s tomorrow which they once had trusted deciding hope is vanquished forever the specks keep wriggling on and on into the flowing stream of time without affirmation or negation
