WHAT IS TO BE DONE




once we found shallow consolation in knowing

though all will surely die one day
we might leave traces – DNA,

a poem, a hospital wing or vacation
home, graffiti – temporarily, behind.

further studies have revealed the eventual dimming

of the sun and the resulting withdrawal
of life from everything and everyone

begging the question:
what is
to be
done.
