Timearc

carpingly Timearc

You are exactly a fifth
my age
yet you are nearly
a quarter century older.

What resembles time
from that angle?
Do you see us
as two shadows
stretching long in late light,
aware the day does end,
yet grateful for each warm spill
of sun across our backs?

Maybe we walk different arcs,
but we share this sky,
this brief bright hour —
and that is enough
to carry us forward,
together,
into whatever dusk brings.

Fermi’s Parachute

In the cradle of the infinite
we are a flicker —
a spark,
a breath.

Thirteen billion heartbeats
in a symphony that spills
beyond every edge we can name.

We stand at the dawn of forever,
the universe still stretching its arms,
still tasting its first words,
still humming its first tune.

Galaxies drift like lanterns
across a dark sea,
each a quiet promise
of voices yet to sing.

We sit beneath this canopy,
inhaling stardust,
our own atoms whispering:
We have only just begun.
