I grew to the size 
of you and your 

shadows. Now 
and then my eyes

on your eyes,
a wonder would

appear. A flotilla
of new ruins

following each
star to the shore

of us. Our feet
began turning

the world around.
We couldn’t stop,

even in the face
of all the lakes 

and what we saw inside 
the windows.

We are any and
everything in gleam,

and it’s tiring
taking over. The sky

in the city
looking lousy again,

we can almost 
hear it. A paradise 

buzzing
in every machine.
