sun through leaves
shadows on his face
as if a dappled stallion
…………. time’s a tick a heartbeat far out
…………. elliptical and long as the orbit of Uranus
…………. (eighty-four of our years to one)
…………. heartbeat, sustain us
…………. in a capsule with companions
…………. in a click of recall that contains us
………… thread of something through the raptures
…………. of the changes of dominions that remains us
nearby in our sky star
holds feet to fire
blistering gold medallion
