From spaces between eyelashes
it escapes
diving off my nasal bridge
stealthily it slips
into the wilderness
beyond myself
Caressing the elms,
dwarfing the scrapers enroute,
keeps going without a break
Horizons not an excuse to wait,
waving briefly to oceans,
it leaps at once
past earth's face
becoming the void borderless,
enfolding in its nothingness,
stars, galaxies countless.
And I close my eyes,
go to sleep,
taking my sky with me
folding the universe
neatly unto itself
