I never tire of church bells
echoing through the valley during late afternoon walks in the fog.
With each strike of the lip,
the clapper issues a reverberation,
a reminder
of the immensity of life,
the nearness of death,
and Nature’s indifferent,
non-discriminatory
and eventual reclamation
of the entire circus.
