rock, stone, cement, wood.
elements designed as ours, but not owned.
structures harness power and release importance.

to orbit.
creatures great and greater slide
as if forgiven, though sins need no atonement.
days of hours complete a simple
cycle, often recognized.
let the leaves fall, the white blankets will come and find themselves gone before long.
but never owned.
