Beauty's Destruction

when the world
seems to fall and fall,
to ensnare and encircle,
so that everything
you have ever done
is contained and quantified--
what do you do?

If it is beautiful.
you continue life--
as if it never happened

Author notes

Not sure how I feel about this one. I lost my first version, but this one is basically the same and sounds better anyway. I have not written a poem in a while.

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!
