Calm sets like a wish on the night.

In your garden, the fruit trees bloom with stars.

The sky tilts its last light to the edge.

Everything disappears.

 

We step along hushed roads

discussing astrology,

imagined worlds,

things lost in the turn of a day.

We are held in space that shrinks

as we speak.

 

Need centres us.

We find our axis as the world spins away

and time stops.

 

Apart, the pivot remains.

Knowing is enough.

the magic on knowing is sown with just enough seeds of doubt.

Yes. The doubt wasn't misplaced, either. Eros twanged his bow and had no arrows left.

While the world goes spinning all over the place we have our own axis and it's good that we stick to it. 

And this line is a great line...

In your garden, the fruit trees bloom with stars.

Thanks, Turlough. My head was full of stars at the time, too.

The world certainly is spinning all over the place. Hard to feel grounded in our own reality sometimes.
