knowing it is coming and no words can stop the motion taking place.
i wait.
wait.
and slowly, across a distance of time i cannot begin to comprehend, the first tear rolls down my cheek.
and i know, looking over the edge of the world, that everything has changed.
as the sun dips below the first horizon, i realize that time continues on without a thought of what is being left behind.
drowned in the intervining years, i think, lost to some continuity i don't understand.
i watch, and watching, the tears continue to fall.
fall in pairs not quite parallel, and i realize that time is irrellevant.
meaningless.
motionless without its defining word.
