For every timeline
that collapses
unto Death..
another one
is born..
that hasn’t
gotten there
quite yet.

If only it were
just as easy
to rewind
The Doomsday Clock..
as simply flipping
the ol’ hourglass
upon its head,
bottom to top.

Alas,
new branches
only sprout
for other ones
to see..
The One who meets
The End in earnest..
is eternally awakened
from this living dream.
