The morning air
in Washington Park
hangs heavy and grey.
Aged Figures move
through Tai Chi
slow, deliberate circles
against time.
Love in the mist,
a delicate blue,
shelters the devil
in its basket.
Nigella gone to seed,
a dry rattle
hiss and hint
the shift of time.
Memento mori.
Memento vivere.
Speak of love
while it lasts
and here
between the shadow
of ending
and the quiet
act of breathing
life
simply
moves
on.
