Syzygy

              Syzygy

The land goes cold and the lizards dance, mountains succumb
		to freeze in twilight. A swath of night sweeps the valley to
the sand and sea. An instant midday sunset, vultures want to sleep, time twirls then ceases as we...
				breathe... in. breathe in... breathe.
They’re all here now... Three orbs all coincide — spying down at us.
		Nothing is hiding, yet we are all alone. To witness this
celestial ménage a trois as Luna wants the day for night, but Sol’s mane of light streaks
			through in a translucent scrim; descending on the bay of the dead.

Somehow Helios, consumed by the Sky Dragon, in a predictably violent moment, is
			full of grace,
			with perfect timing.


Running to the beach, the shadow hastens us to follow,
		A dream swallowed in the shore, a fleeting moment caught just once
			and vanishing
.				.. now out of reach.
					breathe out; breathe again....

The day returns in a singular way:
		into the water with trigger fish, and playful waves
			seeing green brains of coral
				and ever smiling puffers.

We’re all here now — together again; enjoying our time,
		With the earth, the moon, the sun
			and everything in between.
