Brushtail - Sketches of Stars and Sea

a sonnet of Stars and Sea:

Sloshing rocks and ridges deep

Salty broth downward creep

Prevailing currents amid whale song

This vast body, time prolongs.

Oozing, the valley ridge below

Air pockets erupt through the blue abyss

Mirror flung where stars become

Sheets of wind whip where the clouds were

Violet pools burn black

ink, molten wax, gravel

Solar gusts sweep the milky dust

past a raging nebula

Fragments, unanchored

pulled to the surface

An eternal embrace;

a meeting place.

009.
