In space

I search

for years

of healing

for light-years...

Do you see the sundial?
Sunrays show it's
time to be
without her crushing -
ambivalent hand -

              time to be!

I thought I saw
a kindred light
but he was the darkness
- no shadow on my surface -
her twin,
her continuity.

Do you see?

              Do you hear?

I am the ticking
of my own clock
I am the breath
insufflated in mud
to begin life
against their murder
- cut-cripple-cut -
I give them back
what belongs to them
and redeem
space
            - My Place -

and in the middle

thrives

my pounding core

          Sunlit.
