Fraktur (Owling Time)

Time Falls Off Its Newtonian Plinth
leaped, pushed, who can tell? what we know:
remade is lunar time from a blessing moon, seeking love in the longest now,
(deepest billion pulsar tempo)
jilting its algebraic ornation, and pursuing waves, or maybe they’re on fire.

Padroni Eterni
Enfiefed at rest and leisure, unfaced by time,
but with many names in many hearts held tight against them.
Serene, like the doges of old,in the knowledge of their euphemisms for plunder,
content in their long game and constant resurrection,
they send argonautic shadows into times
not yet seized by them.
