The hand reaches up and crumbles,
into a million pieces it crumbles,
into a billion shards it shatters,
like disintegrating stone it erodes,
like broken glass it breaks,
We thought it was hard,
but infact it was frail, delicate, and so fragile.
I thought it was igneous,
rising from the hot core of the earth,
first hot, red hot with heat,
chemical reactions,
with effort, it will harden into forms that are unbroken.
Took a pick and hammer,
tapped on the surface,
and there it came.
All the sediment, all the dust.
It was all sedimentary,
so fragile and so soft.
The fatal acid rain that falls,
that pours and flows,
unstoppable once it starts.
Somebody stop it,
Stop it before it crumbles away,
back into dust
back into the air,
back into the nothingness
where it all came from.
because after all, in the end, all we are is dust in the wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind~~
