I Wake in Ruptured DreamsTo Tyler Clay's previous piece     She Kept You AliveTo Tyler Clay's next piece
Stacks of paper
Like looking at stars
And feeling small
Or inconsequential.
-
So many with neither know
Nor mourn
The beauty or life
Or lack of both
In each sheet
Summing the entirety of
Any lifetime.
- 
Letters and diplomas
Like eulogies in
Newspaper fading black
Fragments of ink
That people type and print
To experience immortality
That lays not beyond
The roses on your gravestone.
