from your terrace the city’s ragged machine chugs into evening.
at the unseen well inside of light
existence distills from nothingness
and floats on top for an instant
and then sinks back in.
we sip wine in the dark and ponder the profundities of space.
intoxicated with absolute night
our eye sockets fill with stars and
our sight measures light-years
of frozen oblivion.
a meteor splits the sky over the mountains and then is gone.
in a leaping flame outside of time
the spent universe dies
and then again is born
in an exploding singularity.
we sleep outside and wake early to find the dawn sky red with blood.
the sun’s pulse pumps in our veins
and gamma rays ooze from our pores
bathing worlds in green-blue death
and brilliant borealis effects.
our annealed bodies are without fault in your naked calculus.
as we travel through rough country
heedless of cosmic subtleties
our vision loses heat and
then hardens like a lava flow.

Kobaabout 13 years agoAn absolutely exceptional poem! I loved it! The imagery is simply amazing! I found myself absorbed in your visions. Beautiful! Has a Rimbaud feel to it.
It is ironic in that I too am in the midst of writing a poem about the night sky in Alaska. I'm tempted to steal a few of your images! But maybe I'll change a word or two to disguise that fact that I did. Lol.
Great piece!
