Three Sevens

forward motion;
an infinity after Big Bang,
where Time is measured in igneous gases,
with sediments and layerings of rock;
reaches Still Point,
a last then lost
vestige of momentum.

writer;
birthing cyclist, casting for motives
for a snowbound journey,
navigating Time in fiction,
layering word-sediments as a proxy for living;
captures Still Point for a moment then
feels reciprocating urges of entropy.

cyclist;
lives forward and never past,
rejects Still Point,
disentangles the memory-chain
from the cogs and sprockets of proxy;
sets out for the breathless blissful summit
and the kaleidoscope roads.
