flash forward to the rot
all perfection spoils in a myriad of ways
a perishable item should not be idolised
nor allowed to take over a space
for a moment though
I understood
placed the flat of my hand on the surface
found a heart beating
sat present with myself
I breathed
slowly and intentionally
while everything was fresh
as light streamed in
all too quickly
shadows drop
its darkness will mingle with mine
there will be nowhere to rest
in this all-consumed space
until the idol rots down
