Event Horizon

When the clock stops 

and final census is cast, of what column do you belong?

How many reflections of radiance stretch forever into an abyss of idealistic schisms?

How many curses are snatched away by supple gales; miniscule pinpricks of willful neglect swept away by this divine Coriolic touch?

when photons lie frozen, how many are bound by their immense weight?

heads down; tendons riveted; marble models whittled by innumerable coin flips.

How many continue to move in this void?

Observing with dulled senses; recording with empty pens?

Loving with reanimated hearts; mimicking empty grins?

When the wheel turns once again, how many remain silent to retain a semblance of vanity or sanity;

writing unread memoirs laced with superfluous profanity; a shadow of humanity?

What if they're dead?

When numbers no longer exist

will your final photograph be one worth remembrance?

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
