cancer time


hardcold and highedged
snowlight comes in.
in from the outside
and now against this white
wall that paler thing.

sequentially but almost
all at once: it shifts
with

flutt,
with heave
and shudder,
gloss.
in movement
a single beesting.
try it:  try to rein light.
chase color and
speed.  appreciate constantly and
it  slows.  maybe ceases.

moving fast
through the left of
what’s given and knowing that.
it seems so.
so quick
time can
vanish.  or never exist at all.
end or never start.  a matter of
focus.  on the light
at the moment.
and it follows:
dissolution to un.
unforeseen.  unknown.  maybe lovely

the light right now
it's this shimmer.
it's this pale
pearledblue on the wall.
and describing a vein through tender skin
is just passing through
anyhow.
