Dawn Physiology
The eyelid of morning lifts:
photons flood the optic nerve,
and belief becomes visible.
Fossil Breath
When I open the window,
carbon traces from ancient lungs
enter mine like scripture.
Pulse Equation
A tremor in the wrist:
each systole translating
silence into proof.
Migration Pattern
Geese cross the gray aorta of sky,
and something in me follows:
a small, migratory ache.
Postscript to the Universe
I suture the horizon with thought,
but the sea, patient surgeon,
undoes each stitch of light.
