Maia
Not yet flattened by the gravity of a dark world,
throw yourself into space, invite diverse colours
to assemble around you. You have assumed
a central position. It may not be the best attitude
but it will your own.
Mayfly brides are traditionally heard
"Soon there'll be less of me to cuddle."
How could there ever be less! Sweet darlings!
We glean little of our own destinies,
only that there is always more to be thankful for.
Mayflies! Caper through
the maze of your newly conquered air.
Caesar fixes an uncomprehending eye
from a coin. Interminable cricket matches
play out. Be not dismayed
finding no moral to the tale.
