creeps up on us like a centipede on the wall
inching toward our warm moist mouths
while we sleep everso soundly.
sunrise is the decreeing contentment
telling us that we cannot run west anymore:
the east is going to catch up with us
and make us flip to another page, write another story
or make another mark in the trunk of a tree
to let everyone know how long we've been here—
though we are not here, always:
we are moving still like the sun moves west in the sky
and we stay still,
moving.
