Maia

 

Not yet flattened by the gravity of a dark world,
throw yourself into space, invite diverse colours
to assemble around you. You have assumed 
a central position. It may not be the best attitude 
but it will your own.

Mayfly brides are traditionally heard
"Soon there'll be less of me to cuddle."
How could there ever be less! Sweet darlings!
We glean little of our own destinies,
only that there is always more to be thankful for.

Mayflies! Caper through 
the maze of your newly conquered air. 
Caesar fixes an uncomprehending eye 
from a coin. Interminable cricket matches 
play out. Be not dismayed 
finding no moral to the tale.
