Astronomical Reckoning

by silvershoes   Sep 7, 2007


Some are wilting before
Rising with the blazing
Sundry painted pastel
Buds and family
Gathering food for when
Her basket fills to
Brims of lavish bonnet
Babes growing ever
Stronger heat and lesser
Water deprivation, all but
Spiked ice, falls but does not
Land, glazed in sugar
Crystallization flaking into
Snow, the granule
Material manufactured as
Stealing light from deserting
Sun; star centered solar
Systems of components
Interacting concepts of
Two-way drifting
Particles win her chilled
Perception of pallid clumps
Falling swift as dew cohesion
Hiding; polar hibernating
Bares tender petals spring and
Pop,
Indian corn grains eaten for
Serial smudges bleed the
Twilight, sunlight scattered in an
Upper atmosphere, illuminating
Light and dark, death and
Rebirth, reproducing seed
Plantation basking, even
Beaming sunshine
Flowers rejoicing in
Poly nation season
Shifting
