Likewise Poem by Marta Mueller

likewise
as useless to regret that
the adult child
baby days are gone permanently
likewise
as it will no longer be a
by the storm
broken-in-half tree-trunk
nothing
returns to
as it once was

we fly
like two birds
over the endless sea
we do not feel
the confinement of being
the universes
packed in each other

there is no time
not continuous
not periodically recurring

we don't desire
to be anywhere else
as where we are
we live and we die
