Guilty conscience

Eyes turned toward burned bridges makes for an infection too infectious to forget What happened eternity struck the structurally sound

One that could be seen even maintained to ensure integrity

Could such a monument remain collapsed?

The chances unlikely, technology has grown to change it all

“Improvements” the Architect would argue further down the road but those who know the success of the arches prior to the flames that created a pile of dead organisms

Will explain that the construction was impeccable

Outstanding even

But even they will see

Dead organisms create a breeding ground for hungry cannibals

Buried deep in the pile of ash is bacteria waiting to react

Decomposing bodies from the inside out they’ll gain strength relocate to the

On going torment of a cold body creating new strength for life still active.
Dwelling on loss of solid pathway leads pedestrian astray from finding meaning of what could be

Memories remain energy in brain of the beholder and if looking upward and onward the passerby of previous life can appreciate sights surrounding the charred arches

Creating availability to historical images can be more sigh of relief than desperately hanging onto what was forever supposed to be
