into the sun rides an elegy,
told in scenery—
a timeless affair.
should there be a tomorrow,
would you be there?
the questions walk away,
refusing to remain;
no answers—
only endings,
only consequence,
always the same.
is there a need to rhyme?
to count, to measure?
or is it simply pace—
a line of footsteps
side by side,
without collision,
indecision as a wish,
an image
in one’s head.
where does it end?
it doesn’t.
it goes on
infinitely—
words rolling like stones,
stumbling into meaning;
definitions, greetings,
new year’s resolutions,
meeting the season’s needs
without a single reason,
a single care,
a wisp of an image—
and then,
no longer there.
