Double Cinquain

Poem Body

Time yields
radiant solids:
the hurtling hail, gemstones
on wedding-bands, your epitaph
on bronze.

My heart:
did you avow
this magic starry sky
is less ephemeral, or brief,
than life?

I can picture...

your head tilted back, looking up at the starry-heavens and wondering about where does life go? Does it just end?
