The imago's day a lifetime

 

A mayfly day a lifetime
and a point a world. Suns
and shadows pass across the room
and the high vault's echo
is a heart's beat of a sighted life.
The door is open to the field
and the weathered hill's
familiar in the mind.

--The time sent to the past
returns in part: the brief
imago not yet born. Suns
and shadows ripple in the deep;
a surface holds the clear divide
of worlds. Many-lensed
the air flows, and the water streams:
the burning boundary holds.

-The imago's day a lifetime
in a day. The eternal dark
of pasts now lit in him. Suns
and shadows ripple in his eyes,
and his mind rotates the spiral
of the days. As one in days
the surface of this day bears weight
and here the days begin.
