Fragmented poem on change and ruin from an old Advertiser piece
A damaged verse fragment laments the passage of time and the ruin of cities and idols. It meditates on memory, decay, and the need to look inward rather than cherish fallen temples and forsaken halls. The piece blends classical imagery with a didactic warning about changing eras.
