what is permanent?
a house may survive it’s family.
and it’s family again
for how many generations
infants taken home
and then the backhoe takes it down
what is permanent?
a grandchild a grandmother
a staircase
a swing
a garden
what is permanent?
love
souls?
a universe?
a hand offered
a hand taken and held
a heart filled
and broken
what is permanent?
a vow
an oath
a promise
a lie
a moment relived
and relived again
what is permanent?
a naked swim
the ocean
a graveyard
a smile
eyes filling with tears
a dizzy rush of anticipation
what is permanent?
a leaf on the wind
a fading rose on old wood
what is permanent
a wish
desire
loss
endings
