It is a single room

with a comfortable chair

& a wraparound window

overlooking the universe.

A man enters

& rolls up his sleeves.

Light is calling.

He becomes immersed

in the creation of new worlds

where life forms blesh

& syzygy is rampant.

Themes from a lifetime

of words on paper.

Pathways, strings.

A game of rooks & bishops

on an expanding board.

Done for the moment

& moments beyond.
