Here I am

a million miles away from all I know

contemplating a gigantic tock

pink

 

I have been staring at it as a maniac would

a pretty gild on the beach

but unlike her

the mountain does not move

nor blush.

 

It is awesome to think of

all the changes in fact

it goes through with every minute

sad I cannot see those. 

 

I do believe the massive thing

just winked at me in the sunset

as if to say, “I got you, human.”

 

I may enter into a dialogue with this wonder

as it holds a glass to celebrate something

not my health I am certain but perhaps

the irony that in another million years

my new friend will still be here

a few new wrinkles adorning its brow.

 

There she will be remembering the days gone

when indigenous ones roamed her flanks

built their home at the foot of her might

and those when I typed a letter to her on this laptop.

 

What will it be like then for her?

I ponder, but I know I will look down upon her

and smile with her as we will both realize

yes, she changed, just like the ruling empress

of this blue world.
