Timed Passage

go out in the field with that helmeted Go-Pro and press the button, not that little clearing beside the building but the field as wide as it is far, far out look up and stream the dark washed sky times elapsed in fusioned milky light watch it arc across the chilled, stubbled field the cold sparks beautifully splayed across turn it over now - a bit further, roll over, refocus, look down close at the loam laid on set the time-lapse for lengthening days and watch your shadow pass below you see the seed casing crack open and seedlings rise to first season of life toward the now brightened sky above listen to the cells elongate springing against gravity to push away to up, up sit up, or stand and raise the gaze farther the slow pan of growth, Jacked up stalk through sky and clouds to see what's so big up there © Goode Guy 2015-03-11
