Like this here pond
Walking
like the wind
With
purpose-
But
without destination.
I
walk across a frozen pond,
The
empty echoes of waterfalls buzz like insects.
A
man
Clad
in animal skins rises to my side-
Upright.
He
whispers:
“Within
you,
Within
me,
Within
us all
Within
the quietest machines in the universe-
Lies
a bulb-
Forged
from an unknown place,
And
when the sun
Hides
in space
And
the earth freezes-
Like
this here pond,
The
bulbs will flicker to
Life,
Signaling
the mother ship-
Wherever
she may be.
I
turn my neck,
He
is gone-
Perhaps
it was just the wind.
My
gaze turns skyward-
And
I watch the sun
Hide
behind a spacious nimbus.
