Frabjous Times

renga sequence scifaiku poetry

1000 cranes

a pointlike pucker
geodesic rays
smooth out

sexless self-attraction dust to light

a million eons
to condense
this world’s oceans

a leaf falls the trench full of black silt

two orbits crossed
iridium sand
marks their time

which came first the flower or the ice?

slowly, slowly
a form raises itself
upright

thickening air a post-human place
