The Esoteric Sky

Past the ant on the branch near by
Over the oak leaf twisting high
and right above the blue birds nest
is the clear blue esoteric sky. 
What substance is this made of?
This glass reflecting down?
Is is soft to touch and flagrant
Or granite hard and sound.
And above this mystic fortress,
that is tickled by the clouds
What lies beyond this plasma
So far above the ground.
Is a giant staring down at us
Its mouth a gaping arch
its eyes the sun and moon
with a constellation heart.
Or perhaps a simple particle
In blackness time and space,
A neutron or electron
A sparking interface.
Past the tiny caterpillar,
The hawk in gifted flight
An astronomical particle 
From the esoteric sky.

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
