Mayan Calendar
Mayan Calender
The wingflap
Of your thousand hearts
Flying upward
Will flay the blue of the sky away.
The bones of heaven
Will be laid bare,
Shreds of god
Still clinging to the white.
The wind
Will grow ropy
With muscle, sinew,
And will rush over the bones
Like resurrection.
But for now
The sun trembles against the neckline of the sky,
Like a woman
Rolling a piece of light across her collarbone.
Morning comes,
and evening follows:
The last day.
