Time-Stalkers

To stalk time

is a fruitless exercise,

a phantom’s unscratchable itch.

And yet …

within the process of stalking

lies the power of invention,

conduit

to nuptial surges

in sync

with the secret odysseys

we undertake

to make of our lives

mythologies

spanning the legend

of first breath

to last.
