Sometimes, the surging, thrilling lines
of ordinary buildings
seize hold of me
in an open space
like a parking lot,
with a five-story tan thing
on one side
and a quasi-Victorian office
pub
across the front
an inexplicable colonnade
or something,
to see. And it's
a cool day. Dazzling
as I step
into shifting time
Looking suddenly up and around,
electrified
like I'd trod on a mine
and the sky's gone blue
as the sun comes clear.
The breeze holds its breath
and I lean up
and into revolving space
Just a touch of fear
just fine
in the middle
of all of this
erupting place.
Having finally now noticed this.
How unpredictably right all this
just is.
A completely meaningless epiphany
breaks
In
just this spot
before I take
one more step, and convergence
slips free and undoes
the momentous pause.
At peace in the calm
and rest
this was.
