Fountain
We’ve been here before
This crumbling playground of the gods
A fossilised mythology
An arena of chaotic symmetry
Its edges torn away
Ploughs gnawing at the perimeter
Furrows drawn towards the vortex
Our mundane Sunday has become
A gravitational singularity
Random pilgrims scattered
Circulating the nucleus
A convergence of aimless wanderings
All our lows have reached this zenith
On the hour
All living things are still
Premonition saps the sound
Then and now collide
Tiny histories
Rewound, reviewed
Past failings reconciled
The afternoon has reached its critical mass
A communion, a secret shared
By disciples of doubt
We are one
The child reborn
Primal elements
Roar beneath us
Perseus and Andromeda
Breathe again
Lifeforces bridled
Our pent up dreams
Fired once more towards the stars
