Meditation on a Twilight Union
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!
