Pain Decay

It's been so long
Since she dropped
The bomb.
The after shocks
Have begun to calm.
They say time heals
All wounds
And rebuild from
The ruins
That's what I'm doing
80 million years
Doesn't seem so long.
It's all over but
The waiting,
The waiting for
The pain decay.
No use to
Go on hating,
The half life is just
Days away.
Here underground
I've been sheltering.
While up above
The dying are sweltering.
I have all that I need:
I have water and seeds
And plenty to read.
Deadbolt the door,
No point in surrendering.
Patience,
Biding my time.
I mark each line
With my chalk on
The wall.
Change is
Always sublime.
Just like fine wine
Things improve
After all.
