Heads Up

I saw a jet, jet ‘cross the sky

silvered high, captivating my 
eye: 

Surely no meteor could show 
natural better, icing the sky
leaving lick-able tails of frosty
air glitter -- 

The jet made circles

a lariat rhinestone cowboy

or sparkly pinwheel in the hands of
dancing child – surely some future
astronaut, making
novelty of atomic flash and fire – 

celestial lollipops

two scoop cones of sprinkled faceted
stars….
