Slip Away

Where am I going as I slip away?
Back to the years that fall 
Through my fingers
Like sand
I let them go
Feeling the grains as they pass
Though I’ve forgotten them overtime 
Only recalling echoes of
Landslides in my hands
They are gone, I know 
Caught in the currents of 
Flowing earth 
And if I say no
If I clasp at falling silt
Will I be buried?
While open and outstretched 
It’s all gone through me
And I felt each granule
As it slipped away
