Quiet here in the reckoning place
the sentient noise and the endless sleeping sea
my mind screaming with fear of what waits me
and make it thoughts and sensory emotion
to be here aware passes actions to the past
and am here in now and then wandering not
not wandering then and now in here
but where i am the microbes blunder microcosm
outside of this planet's atmosphere four moons
four moons to wax and wane in frozen time
beginning eclipse, and ending eclipse
the setting and the rising of the twilight horizon
in immortal, this way, un unbearing, this way
outside the sphere of influence and dismay
that mortals weep and children play
and the atmosphere is just an end of life
as we know the nothingness nihilistic stares at stars
as if the sky looked up to the earth
and the earth looked ever down again
and from the night sky a night moon watches me
after the night carrying only starlight
any darkness echoing against the body
at the starts against the world
all the many moons of darkness
with the daylight skies are echoes of fires and life
why the plasma of two great eclipses battle the atmosphere
where ever day makes dawn and dusk
whose light bounces within the world and sky
winning prize of fire's rest and mountain's eye
wander to the center of the sea and seek land
winds of change move over nations
winter pushes against brilliant sand
whereof another star watches like the pendulum
between the day and night in the lavish
where the summer and winter will not ravish
is the worst for place to sleep among them
the histories of towers and shadows demanding
with the memories of pages demanding
make this place for every wandering moon and star
to live in the place between day and night
the night sees the sunrise
the day sees the sunset
sharing discord sowing state of dishonest seed
in the request of remission of time's paucity
or is it pausitude, or passingness,
and the sound of flowers blooming like thunder
in the rumbling caves of time
that the only war is wasted to find three moons
three moons watch while I sleep
three moons watch while I eat
three moons watch while eternity cannot wait
they are the best three to be
to survive the beneath the sky without so much as why
always watching two of four and never watching one
with time to see beyond the air
as winds winds engrave a mountain stare
and in the time forgotten in the particles we share
wondering what sleeps deep within them
and what moons think is down there
and would time have found a cure.
and would time have found a cure.
