Analysis of Minor distractions
Ryan Blackborough 1984 (Adelaide)
Wait beyond the earth is doomed.
Sun grew hungry, thus consumed.
Further wait until time tires.
Watch as all motion expires.
Unstitch all that has been sewn.
Witness that which can't be known.
Mould a shape that's yet unseen.
Remake all that has not been.

A lot of these are for the same person. This was just a something for her to think about, she was sad at the time.
