Temptation Redeem?

the split in the timeline
came two Septembers ago
with a dagger deep
in Adam's rib.

I wade in the day
of that crevace,
an undecided railworker
at a boney crossroads

is this heaven, the future
or a Publix parking lot
at night
after a thunderstorm?

the little pieces of sky
caught in every puddle
like some cheap portal
to another dimension.

but I refuse
the blonde ghosts
who beckon me
from the light.
