The Night Sky
In the night sky of floating
ice, burning rocks, emerges
a disk of pale quartz, lit
by halcyon sun lamp;
in the wings, floodlights-
glassy emanations of
white diamonds squeeze
from the charcoal mantle
twinkling hot flashes
of digested plasma;
on the dark perimeter,
hoary stalagmites with
strobe lights powered
by a solar battery
spin in their planetary orbits;
shooting across ethereal
bow, cannon balls- igneous
boulders of ice and dust
with fiery dragon tails
stream into the murky,
dark sea of oblivion
