And the Years in the Dark

Three thousand years

And a fingerprint later

        Sat in the darkness

For three millennia

A slow drip from the ceiling, finally

        Grows tired

And the Trees try up, and the Grass does too.

The river shrinks but never fades away

And the drip stops dripping

        And a silence begins sitting

And a finger print later

        Found in the dark

But laid in the light; sealed up tight for

Three thousand years
