Lament

By the way wanderings this poem,       a witness to the sun’s             racing arcs                         a gift the             pulls and sways, worn down soles, your dainty             dancing spots, your umbra, lengthening of days.

Those we lose from our             day-to-day loop towards no clear end.                           Chances        aim finds the sun’s pronated             rays, moving shadows on alley walls.

Leave uncaptured the       outcome: Our steps, lilies from the             milk of a solar maximum,             reverse polarity trace a slow         certain cycle back to a busy square the will-he-won’t-he       of a question.

Whether we let the Shadows lengthen      on the stair Scatter pigeons With a dance that burns Bright the glare Of an early morning             sun.
