Worn canvas shoes faded by miles
of sunmiles and gravelly light.
An earthdressed photon travels
from the sun and back
as she walks in time for home
dinner from the grocery store.
Tectonic plates subduct
under her each step as quietly
faint clouds of dust kick up
around her lower calf, up
secrets flow from the soles of her feet
swirl in the eddies of her eyes.
I sit on the shore
of this river photograph,
lay on my side in the rivergrass,
as a somewhere supernova
gathers intimate planets
in a final sunrise.
