incomprehensibilitas, my watchword
for today

pondering imponderables
things which words can’t say

like loves which last a lifetime
trillions and trillions of stars

exoplanets, perhaps aliens,
this transient Earth of ours

the smile in her beautiful face
brown hair down to her back

the hopes I have, the fears as well,
gifts I know I lack

so tonight when I am leaving work
I’ll wander silently

think of the ones I’ve tried to love
and dream of dying near the sea.
