crimson

crimson soaked horizon
girdle of sunset marking time
between tick and tock
advancing half again to night
and the whitewater rush
across the sky a river of stars
never stepped in twice
in the same place shore to shore
or aethereal water flowing
between humans and divinity
dancing around watchtowers
in the shape of infinity
from fractals of fate and fortune
ritual weapons of stardust
made and consecrated
