He watched her washing bottles

in a tavern

by the roadside and later mending

burns and holes and tears

in other people’s dirty clothing

and just to

make a living, or so it seemed

Then taking sips

of melted snow caught in a golden

sun bowl

She later dined on grapes picked

from a Grecian

hand thrown plate ..

It was in that very moment

when he realised

without any warning, whatsoever

that nothing

lasts forever and there is no taste

at all to those last

few crumbs we each leave behind ..

Those crumbs are results of our striving after the winds of chance my friend and some folk just never get to do otherwise - I love this reflection of what lasts and what cannot.............x
