Looking back
the past in chains
Looking ahead
untethered
Looking back
the timeline cast
Looking ahead
forever
Looking back
the world is fixed
Looking ahead
entropic
Looking back
a dead man’s song
Looking ahead
— anthropic

Kurt, this resonates with how reflection can feel binding while anticipation feels open but unstable. That contrast between certainty and freedom rings true to lived experience. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The past cast in cement unchangeable the future nebulous, unknown and so malleable (unless you believe in destiny) I love this poem and so well written Kurt a fave
