speed of time


Speed of Time


We should be able to understand by now.
It happens before our eyes.

Every moment is part of an hour
and we still don't know what an hour is
or what makes it:
the minute
the moments
what long means
or short

The seasons reel through space.
Space creates the seasons' reeling.

Lives blink on and off
like sparkles on a pond


and on the other side of the world
a different farmhouse
fills with light
then fills with shadow

Lives blink on and off
like sparkles on a pond


and in the space
of an hour

everything has changed again.
