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.
