Marking Time



  
Pause in your flight,

turn yourself into the wind,

dragonfly on a metronone,

daybreak, nightfall, daybreak, nightfall.


Fly in the dark

with the lanterns strung over the fields

pulsing, you're not alone.


Lovers of night

mark time in the light of the sun,

eyes closed in the rattle of wings.
