Between Singularity and Singularity,  
between dawn and dusk, between  
errand and meeting, between  
dream and nightmare there is  
the flicker of free time, the choice  
to write sonnet or free verse, to carry  
or be carried away by burdens, by joy.  
But the passing moment passes, time  
snuffs out time: so I decree that my  
tombstone be an unfinished thought,  
a civilization in ruin, a scribble in dust  
carried off by a wind long-since died-  
down, its own epitaph legible only  
to the particles still flitting to and fro,  
dancing to the music I wrote as if it  
wouldn't end like this, desolate, beautiful,  
the scorched earth still warm enough  
to lie down in, to make love in, to sleep in.
