The birds have vanished from the sky. Now the last cloud has drained away. We sit together, the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains. - Li Po

Moment
Awake...again...but from where? The gray skies, the muddy memories. What have I done now, at this moment (the only one that matters), to deserve the events drawing me into these warm blankets. What does it mean, standing here, eyes fixed in the mirror, this flesh is still so young, someday old with rot. He couldn't understand. The mold in the corner. How every indication of age and growth all boiled down to the single moment. Now cold, damp, alone. Alive, terribly. Exhilarating sadness.

I wondered who "he" was...
He is a memory of myself. A moment that I had in the past which is becoming less inchoate now with this reflection.
