ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS
Sequence: 7
APRIL
the horizon is only the horizon
if measured from a point inside me
as it looks at me I am its horizon
and it knows its center through my expanse
then there is another point from which is seen
a line between my center and the horizon's
this line is not a new horizon but a verb
beginning an imperative sentence
or perhaps one twig among many branches
that can be seen distantly and will flower
if so I am the bud and must stay warm
and pick my time with care aware of the season
the true shape of the world what is expected
and what surprises remain possible
