Time was
when an hour cut the eye strings
from out of change
while change tended to its finger-tipped saint.
And mankind groaned
its fabulous groan across a diversional sky.
By chance
and one-eyed once upon its time,
twilight turned
a blind corner to the several stars;
out of nowhere
my liar’s skull cracked open to its pearl:
a sudden infant
flowering like a thief at the end of time,
wrenching suck
from the weather’s brainy teat,
until time stops
on the one thin dime of apocalypse.
