The sun follows
In relentless pursuit
Leaving footprints
In the sky
In relentless pursuit
Leaving footprints
In the sky
And so its stories tell us
A world all out-of-kilter
At war, and in poverty
Has Happy Endings
some conditions are so easy to understand
some outcomes are so easy to predict
Diffuse, airborne and flowing like a boisterous tide
She swallows the bridge whole
So climb up
Up up up
Where the eagles soar
And become like a god
Surveying all below
A marble that never rolled an inch
Nor was shot from a giant’s thumb
Nor tossed by demonic whim
Sitting here in the sun
Sturdy as the crystalline block
He once was on this very spot
