As Time Unwinds

As Time unwinds with a cup of tea
Sipping fragrant steam of centuries
No rush to fluff the flattened sea

In the key of wind's piano notes
Strumming with hummingbirds' low float
And the whale's alto undercoat

Piecing a jigsaw silhouette
Of mountain sky, as eons set
Painting a desert river wet

Her comet's glittered ribbons trace
Over Orion's luminous face
Dappled in blue's infinite base

Goblets of stars conjure up
A millennia, as tiny
As a teacup.
