the body is the incarnation
of matter

for the span of a life

then

the atoms
resume
their odyssey

​

​

​

a meteorite
falls

unaware
that it comes from a place

where history
was still
only dust

as though the universe
were sending us
a memory

​

​

​

between two heartbeats
a silence

between two worlds
a distance

between two words
a waiting

it is in the interval
that time
breathes

​

​

​

​

one second

the universe
barely
notices it

and yet

an instant
is enough
to change
a life
