The waves
once crashed
at my
beckon call.
The sun
hid in
the gray
matter of
the sky
and dared
not to
show itself.
No bird
cast shadow
no matter
how high
their flight.
This globe
would be
wonderful clay…
fodder even
in the
hands of
one with
drunken, yet
rational power.
Universe too.
Trying to
imagine what
could have
been shaped
in nine…
maybe even,
ten days.
