Talitha Cumi
Talitha cumi...
in ascending order
she rises
above horizons
bright star she hides
from no one
umbra dissolving upon
her nightly entrance
unwavering in brilliant
and cogent self shining
Were I - inclined or perhaps
merely intoxicatedly disposed
to take up dancing
at the edge of some
drifting far and away
heaven - were I
it would be there
beneath
if not beside her light
her vespertine beauty exposed
among
night's celestial pastures
the gift she can hide
from no one
(March 31 2016)
