Jennifer Chrystie
It's bin day again
and again I discard
much of my week
recycling what's left
for another attempt
at renewal
but the days and years
grow shabby with me
settle for worn-out landscapes
edged by blurred horizons
as we spiral-spin
tumbleweed galaxies
red-shifting dark energy
into eternity
and the sun so tired
of being dependable
shrivels to a white dwarf
