Our Inheritance



I have read the last poem in the book. What now?
Shall I put down my pen, close the lid on my laptop
And write no more? What harm would be done

Should I never say another word? The day will come,
You know, when all the poetry and all the words
Will no longer seed the brain with flowering images.

What then, you ask? Well, my friends, eternity. And
We shall inherit the endless expanse of dark matter,
The stuff of which the entire universe is made.

Gather all the stars in their glory while you can.
