Poetry

Minor Monuments

Thursday, May 17, 2018 by Christopher Matthias

Peek under the bark that jangles loose
Like bracelets at the end of the day.
There.

Look there,
Where termite trails
Are etched hieroglyphs
Carving the story
Of the providence time provides
And the artistry of existence—
That inner compulsion:

Move ahead

Move ahead

Move ahead

This is your sacred duty.

The world will know.
