Descending
.jpg)
upon an undulating apex
shrouded in greying cumulus
I observe, celebrate, and weep
below
what
has
come
is laid out
a menagerie
of all things
imaginable
sand and glass
rock and soil
silt and mud
take measure
and sort
I take measure
and sort
clumsily-moulded
clay feet descend
upon once bright-ideas
reverse-engineering
to rust and brass
go quick look up
before the rungs somewhere
dissolve there is a light
my footsteps brand creation
shimmering, shining, glinting
dulled, decayed, and dim
faded to black
take measure
and sort
I take measure
and sort
I observe, celebrate, and weep
