Time devours everything

Eventually.

The hourglass we know, from history,

Does not accurately represent the one that encapsulates us.

Its true walls are far less malleable than one could ever imagine.

Time breaks us and we break time.

Whether it be a chipping away through finite cracks

Or a complete shatter,

An erratic explosion or ill-fated implosion of all the particles we’ve ever known and the ones we never knew were there,

The steady drip of fine grains does not exist.

Instead, time floods.

It suffocates.

But it also comforts, a steady flow for some and an avalanche for others.

The end is the same. Always.

Time devours everything.
