Half-lives

We swim, her and I, in blue ocean waters.

Even in this lush paradise, the water is cold,

And we shiver, our teeth chatter,

As the sun shines above.

The sun is falling, the day slipping past,

And the loss and dreams of our hearts

Glow in their half-lives, dimming radiance,

As wat comes around again, humanities

Original sin.

The waters are deep, and the ocean

And the sky become one on the horizon.

We stop shivering because we become used to the cold.

The waters of the ocean and the water of the womb

Only birthed the fires of the sun,

The flames of perdition welcomed by men.
