Except

 

Ages end and empires fall.

Yet it's our own we imagine

might last forever.


It's the thing that stays in place

that the storm within us

assumes might end:

the world as a whole.


From the Book of Revelation

to the Mantra of Climate Change,

the hyper heart

just about

begs the world to blow.


It won't.


There's really not that much to save


except the heart itself.
