If infinity
would quickly devour me
I’d see the sun had been turned out
and moon plunged into sea
All tales eradicated
All evidence annihilated
The toads and hares and worms and bears
all incinerated
The purple leaves of plastic trees
The mustard seed
of focused greed
The bugs on trails
The wins and fails
The rocks in patterns
Lights and lanterns
Mary Poppins, Peter Pan
And Michael Stipe’s true Superman
All on pyre
Eternal fire
And bring me back
oh seed of life
Circle me infinity
I see your curves and close them off
S on chest to eight of fate
The manhole covers named for lovers
S for sewer, D for dance
A no-side Edison romance
The monuments of daily chance
Walking home for years alone
Feeling you inside the bone
Nothing touches the one in me
The absolute infinity
Beaten, robbed and trod upon
I gladly wander on and on.
