This Flag

I set this flag here
Not to claim the ground
Or mark my arrival
But so you’ll know —
When you see this flag —

That this place is real
It exists —
How else could you be here

So you won’t keep wandering
In all directions
For eons more
Only to return again
To the exact place
You never left

Rest here
A while
Then place your own flag
Knowing — as I do —
It will always stand
At the centre
Of infinity
