Forever

Forever

And then you’re dead

As if you were never there

At all

 

And all the stuff you had to have

Winds up in thrifty hands

 

That beloved book you read a thousand times

May never see the light of day

 

The small garden

Gone

 

If you have children

They go on

Without you

 

If you have a better half

They find another half

 

So when I hear, “Forever”

I just shake my head

And think …

 

Pictures change

“Forever” merely means

A frame
