The Shake-Up

(By Gub, the 26th of November, 2016)

That irreversible moment when the walls
closed

when the heart-beat
back flipped
and feet froze.

When nothing on earth can reverse the pain of knowing,
that coming also means going

and that life will end.

rants won't help,
and raves only hasten to expend
the breath that's left

the time unkept.

So prize what's past
and see the future as
work to be done,

for what's left for us is not a subtraction
of living
but only an opportunity to add to the present sum...
