another solstice come
and go and some say
the last
as a grand cycle comes
to pass
three hundred sixty five
more circuits around
our nearby star
until we spin off into
oblivion
or wipe our collective brow
having dodged doom somehow
like a lucky drunk weaving through
galactic traffic
heaving and laughing
at our apparent good fortune
as the spinning continues
winners hoard their winnings
and say poor are such
for sinning
