I keep track of the deepening circles
under my eyes
as if they were redwood rings
showing the number of nights
without sleep
everything is foggy
yet outlined in light
far and away
yet microscope close
in the moment
in every moment
there ever was
like the red sun
slowly slipping out of the ocean
like the primeval green vegetation
covering the dunes
as we pass by
on our morning walk at five
my new dog is up with the birds
and so am I
