We All Learn
Still Life with Dead Game and Peaches in a Landscape (1727) by Jean-Baptiste Oudry
By V. Alexandra de F. Szoenyi
A trap door
A false floor
Fractured smile
Don’t stay a while
We all learn
A fleeting friend
That final end
Love fades away
Forever doesn’t stay
Pages turn
Dreams dashed
Plates crashed
Foundations cracked
Plans hacked
We all burn
