Chess piece arrange in impeccable
balance
Bishop darts, rook moves, knight
hops
Pawn steps in
The logic of unfathomable
possibilities
Or is it just an axiom to
approximate?
Where to begin
In this briefest of time given
In this everyday dying?
One straight line through two
points
It slides and shifts in dimensions
and curves
Anchors sift in spiraling darkness
Fungi hold the whole as one
Each breath settles in
Expanding stillness of milky way
Halt in screeching shock of barn
owl
