Dust of the Morrow
Frozen tundra now voicing
my slide through time
once rivers of fire
holding screeches made mute
my burial made proper
by laws unspoken
unread
unknown
leave unrequited
questions below
might my mother be
hardened water beneath
that by eclipsed radiant sunlight
once hid me from molten red
while father gone absent
made angry with Nature's wrath
found bow made useless
arrows but kindling flames
I remember
broken crystals once shrouded
my peaceful grave
layered under times under
my secret unveiled
will weather yet further
the formula of Matter
this spinning gyroscope
of perpetual chance
this master of abruptness
unfettered by primal inquiry
proudly Nature stands
picking at my bones
once resonant with motion
now but echoes of dissonance
such darkness of light
continues to hold
what can't be seen
by Ends that know
of further Beginnings
beyond
where all once was
tomorrow will be
merely ice of one's sorrows
In cyberspace, ten thousand years from now, your poem will be examined by some automated intelligence reviewing human history, and they will find your insight remarkable for the human race of our time.

What we do know spurs us on to greater discovery.
Until the day when we uncover our own bones.
