Another Year

Steps in time

Another year stretches out before us
Like a quiver on a lake’s surface
Memory drifts behind graying out

Existence is the mistake
That agreement between the Word
And Light pouring in

Disaster needed
Time to invent memory
Drifting outward from
an imagined centre

All that we are
All we became
from that moment onward
Travelling back

Searching for the truth
What is the truth?
Is it what we live for?
Or what we leave behind?

As the hot mess coalesced
into a thousand millions stars
each one explodes into music
strings on the vines of poetry

Visions that matter
Vibrations of a string
Pulses form waves
Ebbing and approaching

Forgetting: the residues of Never forming
we step out of our bodies
into the magnetic rotation
and Time slows
up
