Horizons

The horizon, that boundary where
  solid earth yields up to infinite sky,
  so self-complete that could you go there
  you would see more earth
  and more infinity.
That horizon, framing up from down
  and spreading out to the limits of your vision,
  so that could you watch it forever
  you would see yourself
  watching infinity
Yes, this horizon, holding tight to my heart
  and touching rib to rib in a double crescent
  so whole that splitting smile from frown
  hurts more than holding both together,
  grasping for infinity.
