Luminous, numinous,
Venus and Jupiter
triangle-set with a
scimitar moon:
soon they’ll descend into
invisibility;
stars will appear and the
crickets will croon.
Vega, Arcturus, and
countless bright crystals will
quiver the heavens and
dazzle the eye.
Journey your eyes to the
phantasmagorical
reaches of space and your
spirit might fly!
Alpha Centauri, Ca-
Nopus, Capella: stars
incontrovertibly
gave us all birth;
Ponder the chill of deep
space, though, your mind will then
unhesitatingly
kiss Mother Earth!
