Journey to the Horizon



(Tick-tock) Walking through the seasons. Walking
(Tick-tock) Around the Earth every term.
(Tick-tock) Walking ‘mong stars, never stopping,
(Tick-tock) Even a second—regret forms.
(Tick-tock) Another burden to shoulder,
(Tick-tock) as I stop to take another
(Tick-tock) drink.  Time low, my fire still smolders,
(Tick-tock) The Sea God will not go friendless
(Tick-tock) Into that horizon, we have long sought,
where I’ll live with you in another’s thoughts.
