Sky Psalm
Today is Ash Wednesday. If I'd remembered that last night was Mardi Gras, I would have done something beyond going to bed at 9:30. :-P
Another poem. I wrote this on the bus on the way home, from the last snatches of a dream this morning.
Sky Psalm
You in sky
I saw,
streaks of cirrus
hair,
vertebrae
high & pale --
my horizon pivot
round the divot
at your base of spine.
Not mine
to hold,
not one
to stay, you
glanced
down
once,
then
cleanly blew
away
