with cupped hands
i chase this beautiful orange sunset
to the ends of the earth,
as the universe grudgingly makes other plans.
here, manhattanhenge calls!
fallen red maple leaves neuters a virus,
but only after many stolen dreams and lives,
now time’s scars fill the contours
an iridologist’s tools don’t lie
her love for me, never shy
but as i lie on the bed of the cosmic serpent, i smile,
knowing time’s true turn
and with it, life, love, death and dreams
