I took another lap around the sun
and breathless, waited for the twist at the end of the chapter
but it never came
The last second stitched into now
as it always has
the wind purled tiny grains of sand
the trickle they say carves canyons
pushed me a little further out to sea
I can't see land on either side now
so forgive me for taking this second to go belly up
and stare at the sky until my eyes go fuzzy
and try to find a universe in this moment
