emit....is time spelled backwards

we expel our breath,
another second of our life
dissipates into the swirling wind
but it does not-a-bit of good
to keep a running tally, our last
gasp will come soon enough
our lungs will feed the maggots
the bait boys will toss the maggots into the salty water
to draw the mackerel, the fisherman will reel in the catch
of the day, to feed the hungry children, the cycle of life
needn't be impending doom, the clock of humanity must spin
its uneven hands....two arrows above means it's over,
your time here on earth lacks a working body of flesh and muscle,
but somewhere across the horizon in a purple haze explosion
a new life is just beginning...the stroke of midnight
is a brand new day
