SONGS ABOUT TIME

I’m watching a famous old play
in a circus today
beetles kill bugs
and spiders spin webs
and cicadas they yell in the trees
a burning red sun
is painting the stage
and a curtain of pines sways in the breeze
the worms chew their way in the mud

and the beetles sing about time
about fading and dying
maybe I worry no more
but maybe they turn off the light in our souls
like beetles kill bugs
like empires turn to dust

after the show I stroll on
I’m watching the ghosts
on a market square without a crowd
in a bathhouse without steam
in a hippodrome without a horse
in a parliament with no statesmen
are we just facing the same play again and again?

and still the beetles...
