Sunset
incandescent cartwheel of time
tumbles down the tie-dyed sky,
collapses in a giggle of grass
like a bright breathless child
sprawled beneath the horizon
it stares up, and up, sees
thousands of tiny reflections
years beyond an arm's reach
wordless eyes blink, impatience
returns and softly-- pushes--
the mad spinning begins again,
stars stretching their thin white
arms to each untouchable other.
when a goddess dies
there is no raw tearing of time or space ñ
no primal power pulls apart a star -
the earth still rotates, revolves -
the atmosphere retains its place.
grasses grow and blow
in the blurred breeze -
the seas do not cease straining
against their solid bonds.
no shadow steals the sun from sight -
no great veil is ripped or rent -
no worshippers wail
or gnash their teeth.
only in dreams, quiet corners
beyond the horned and ivory gates,
is there a shadow of mourning ñ
fleeting flames flicker in empty temples.
