They know their end is imminent
Even as they come into existence
Temporary Himalayas
Chased relentlessly by time
Until they run into the ultimate obstacle
Humbled down into a carpet of millions of tingling, sparkling souls
Begging
for their reincarnation
(from the poetry collection Poems for a Planet Running Out of Time)
