They say destruction is a form
of creation and God knows
we’ve had enough devastation
to last us three or four lifetimes—
so we spin, moving faster and faster
not just to forget about the despair
but maybe also to see if we build up
enough velocity, will something stick
together and converge to form a solid,
some stable ground to walk on. And so
we orbit near the speed of light, never
pausing long enough to reflect upon the
tragedy. One day we’ll find the answer
or hopefully, the answer will find us, and
we will rebuild and reconstruct,
but for now, just keep spinning.
