Soul Food

Swallowing starlight, thirsting 
on ether that roars through 
the cosmos as fine, icy fire.

Nibbling moon-dust, gobbling
comets that streak through the
heavens from heaven knows where.

Digesting mysteries older than time, 
inhaling the dew, grateful for tastes 
that are forever ancient and new.
