gray time

it’s gray
as if the lightest fog in front
so
light’s ironic
without evidence
but
knowing that it’s time

Earth knows
while
it’s whole around the sun
fractured
since making and
in time
shall have the splinters going through
the core
and
all of us
gray like these days
shall hopefully have left
gone
to
another world that has
tectonically
so far to go
