Life Lived Well But Once

Life lived well but once

Trailing discarded firsts

Relived over and over

Impressing memories

Into the far reaches of

The corner of the heart

Unwinding stream of time

Seconds and minutes

And hours and days and

Spiraling and spinning until

Nothing remains but

Remnants of a once-lived life
