Short Pulsars Poems

Cattle-cars filled with Jews,
Hot guitars wailing blues,
Pulsars beaming in the night,
Thoughts of wrong, desire for right,
Cigarette ash- grey and rigid,
German soldier, Russian front frigid,
Masonic poetic words far too turgid...

SKY

        Night dark.
        Stars spark.

        Blue stars
        Red Mars.

       Twin stars
       Pulsars.

      Light caught.
      Just lost.

      Who stole?
      'Black hole.'

I was looking at the starry sky
When past a comet sped.
Oh, how I wished I could
Attach to it a sled.

I'd hurtle through the universe
Such things would I see,
Planets never seen before
And distant galaxies.

I could watch a super nova
Dodge pulsars cosmic rays,
And marvel at planetary rings
As I toured the milky way.

I could fly through a nebula
As on and on I sped,
Then shoot off to infinity,
Aboard my celestial sled....

The manifestation of God's word,
The Big Bang created the universe,
a phantasmagorical coalescence of sparks.

Billions of galaxies swirl in the fabric of time and space
like filigree clusters set with pulsars and quasars, 
their massive black holes generating cosmic rays.

Harbingers of life and death, stars define infinity; 
as dark matter anchors gravity's web of threads
blurring boundaries of science and creation,
afloat in an unfathomable sea of ebony....
