All Actions Have Consequences

All Actions Have Consequences I make things only to destroy them To build them up again Repeat the action A point in one direction, like a mirror, points back at you To that end A reflection on what once was Looking up Indications are The swirl of stars Other unknowns Out there In larger part At their own peril At your command In degrees, objects form Not just stories By now It must be time To make something work Perhaps this is the moment Or something like it To start again With permanency I make things only to destroy them To build them up again To what end
