Limits

 good morning

where little by little luminosity

turns every head towards grandeur

where even false starts are true starts

the habit of a serenade

and steps forward carry

irresistible questions of us

 

good afternoon

certainties of sameness

somebody watching

natural breakthroughs

galling setbacks

the limits of everything possible

micromanaging of the present tense

nevertheless contrariwise

what was once intended looks different

our disappointments left on the shelf

 

good evening

resumes our reflections

a lifetime won’t let us forget

reflects our resignation

arranges the handful of answers

this single day has offered for free

whatever the outcome

suppertime restitutions

leave it that way for now

 

good night

collects lost thoughts

best thoughts with least thought

into last thoughts

never feels quite final

the hidden galaxy of our own city

windows stars in the darkness

over the hills and far

dreaming unwritten limitless
