Have you not noticed how time
Keeps claiming more and more space
One has the sense of some discovery
Of some country overrun
Then time in retrograde motion
The sailing past of the past
Does all this not come to a cliff
At the lands-end of the universe
Or maybe it just circles back
Time bends and teeters on the brink
As it enters space stopping for a moment
In the yard where it leaves the air
Its shadow carrying that scent
You thought was lilacs
