Fast

Swiftly moving
Held tightly in place

The fast river
Pours past
The fast rock.

The hours of my life.
My life.
The meaning of my words.
My words.
 

The way things are

They never are.
 

Holding fast the ever-changing god

Make a wish.
 

I have been here before though here

Has never before been.
 

That’s just the way of it.

Hold fast. I have not eaten
For days.
