Imagine chasing a beam of light
Imagine life as an impression
in four dimensions where time
is space, where an image
of each moment is held
forever in its place.
Imagine the traces each person
would make, human-shaped
hollows, tunnels that meet
and split and stop; and never fade.
Imagine the sky embroidered
with bird-shaped loops,
each fanning of each wing caught;
the sun a pulsing streamer
of endless figures of eight.
