Lunar Halo

Jupiter, Moon, Saturn above the Black Hills of Central, Az. Double exposure.

I know you can’t remember how you’ve used to shine.

Is anyone can take this weight of mine?

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that one way or another.

stars fell thru

your dreams

and

drowned me

in my sleep.

The last milestone

A heart in dissolution

The defeat is taking form

Reaching the turning point

A desperate call

It's approaching

Falling

It's near

The last milestone

Crawling

It's here

Isolated

Dancing the last dance

It's approaching

Falling

It's near

The last milestone

Crawling

It's here

It's approaching

Far beyond

The last milestone

Reaching the last floor
