Poetical Musings - 2. Damocles

The sidewalk glitters

reflecting amber in patterns

shifting with each breath,

each inhalation.

Civilizations rise and fall in

the shifting diamond light

at my feet, in wonder and

tragedy. The air around me

a blade, suspended

precluding movement,

but it is worth the risk

to exhale and write

a shadowed epic on the ground.

I am precarious, alone,

a gossamer storyline crafted

by a fickle pen.

If this cigarette break is

my anticlimax

then let me die, presuming to know

the mind of God in a simple snowfall.
