him or maybe not. who knows. sporadically sounds are minced
to extract one or a few anew but regularly all is old when
thought of it first, until perpetual. then changes occur to
what's old. but notice not to what was. what was? rather is—
so it to have been. both the same aim as differently as
it sounds. and both, passed by, are and not there.
was it the sun rising up before rising what made encountering
him this time an event unseen, the headless body of his—
roaming near minute distant stars? compelled to keep,
say, aloof from it since otherwise his light'll
prevent him from seeing and knowing it never to be

by many. yet out of the thickness of the shape of
this transit i manage to see in awe a groundhog

days will have begun before sun.
nothing dies, or even lives, without a hint
