forever is shorter than it used to be

how fragile we are.
twigs for bones,
skin
so easily punctured.
injuries come
too soon,
too often.
our mortality
surprises us.
just yesterday we
were young and strong,
and now this.
we live
as if nothing could
ever go wrong.
forever is suddenly
shorter than
it used to be.
