Passing Away

The tired river dries up.
The old tree falls down.
The young man goes sideways.
The failed state burns.
The stars wink out.
The universe implodes.
The atoms are deconstructed.
There are no building blocks.
There is no sound.
There is no heartache.
There is no fear.
There is no life.
There is no death.
There is nothing after nothing
next to nothing.
