wafting ripples edging inward
when the sky had reached conclusion
treading long in earnest failing
foot sworn fate at rocky stream bed
spark embedded moment’s passing
left to right; in captive caption
trails grow cold and starburst shattered
at what great lengths do we now surface
only to return our silence
i stood watch for you; draped in new moon clashing
as all the wind found its resolve
Max, or Not
