Himalayas
The Himalayas are still going up
Driven by a collision
From millions of years ago.
Love is also tectonic
Whether passionate or platonic
Sometimes you have to wait
To see the effects of its orogeny.
In this world everything takes so long
Even the dawn’s light is 8 minutes away.
Who knows what heights ours will someday reach?
I don’t feel like I’m moving at all.
But you can’t always tell
Outside the scale of geologic time.
Our apex is a distant progeny, a snow-
Capped peak someone else will have to climb
