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
