Axis

She is dipped
in water

Her ornament
hangs from nothing

the hours spin around
on an invisible pole

she has a billion eyes
yet sees nothing

the darkness
and God are
the same age

It never starts
and does not end

It wraps itself around her
but she remains naked

She is an
old infant

Her years
are 5 seconds

Her life
ended at
the beginning

a candle
is now lit
