if you look at the end
…………………………………………………..of a day,

at geranium streaks of sky,
a shot of sun fading in a vertical beam,
herds of clouds that flock to the west—

star dots poking holes in the dark—

if you look long enough
.………………………………………………….will the end
become
…………………………………………………..the beginning?
