The years are alchemists:
one evening glows quick gold.
A river mimics heaven
slow clouds have discomposed.
The sea’s been drunk forever.
Far mountains are but shadows.
Each mind has its own weather;
self plays with fire scattered—
time sports as if a fountain,
a tireless ascendance
fed out to drowning light.
Each day is short, is endless.
