Sky Paths

Geese arrive or go,
nowhere becomes a somewhere.

Straight lines crisscross the sky.

A history of headless contrails
are trekking over
a borderless yonder.

Under
a brightly birthed daylight
eyesight cannot settle,
but skims around
the unseen tips of fleeting wings.

Peddle bikes
with their hunched riders
whoosh past.
A streetlamp speedwalks
from one glazed eye to another
blurring a roadmap
in a plodding mind.

Whichever way I go
the sky gets there before me
ever ready to redraw
that which has
just now

occurred.
