But what is forward now all is dust

​

And the wind said, “try seeing the whole of history so far unravel itself”.

So we harnessed a tool and a sign and a tongue and shot our way off into

the future.

​

And she said in reply, “after destruction the forward motion to reparation

must be warped - the linear path must be altered”.
So we broke it apart beneath our feet until the tool, sign, and tongue could

no longer grasp its meaning.

​

And after all this the soil said, “skin on skin is best”.
So we buried the broken fragments of some kind of meaning where skin

could find no touch to linger.
