Alexander

The winged dignity of a horse!
Window panes are thickening; memories
don't trickle down here anymore.
There was no occasion for geodesy,
but you just couldn't sit in a seat,
Odysseus perturbed by a mountain,
pursuing every sanguine sunrise.
Time was so well placed!
This was not past the future,
but the map ends where you stand
and nothing stands where you'll end.
