Metaphysical Standoff
tracking
for a billion years
waiting for interstellar dust
to mop up the evidence
or to send a message
from the shimmering light
and provide a
languid invitation from afar
to inspire
the writer of another story
Blink Of An Eye
How does it feel to breathe freedom?
and who does this?
A bird from a cage, a prisoner,
a hiker,
a person in a summer meadow?
Having been around for the flinch of time
and the blink of an eye.
I wonder what remains when we are gone?
