one step

for those who spent
too much time & thinking

it is okay there now a
day's work if not a week

back up in the bright intolerable
sky there's ships arrayed
about the river

              sails a no general upset
dehydrate the dragging tide

rigour

it's beginning, for rigour is in all things,
the spark of transit, an arc of electron
decay, wide open tracts with space
for the measuring. A firmament we cannot
all be, and do not all be, but once a guiding
bulb caught ignition and cleared the air
of its thrifty gloom; no way the present
does not move on but stays fixed
like the light.
