Interval

what we have is faster than travel:

did you call me ?

i thought for a second

     of unnamed millennium

where each of us stood

a time-piece

able to control each moment

          in time and memory.

 

did you call me ?

   i thought you did.

 

the light between us constant

 

it has no date or memory

like the universe

 

    it is an interval

 

  neither forward nor back

 

   but bright and still in constellation.

did you call me ?

   i thought you did.

 

At that moment

we are utterly motionless

And as wise as Methuselah.

did you call me ?

  or was this silence

so perfect it went on dividing

unseen and beyond any interval ?
