small and brief

a bacterium, a virus

bugs so small

causing damage so huge

a smile, a kiss

an orgasm, a brief joy

alleviating sorrow so large

brevity

in another three weeks

summer will be spent

providing space for fall

and soon it would be winter

forcing me to shut shutters

announcing me that secret:

brisk and brief is beauty

and bidding me to enjoy

lightning in lightning speed
