Reachable Constellations

I waver at the star teeth
of my own invention,
accreting webs of wild light
where night trades
cold for dark
sidereal heat.

I am not here for mundane marvels—
I am here to manifest my most 
daring fantasies into reachable 
constellations,

grasping at the ungraspable—
drawing unfathomables to fruition.

Duke Beaufort Date: 8/20/2025 12:35:00 PM Laura, I took an astronomy course or two in college over 50 years ago so I can relate to this metaphor. I marvel at the creativity you have. I have talents for taking things apart and putting them back together in different ways, but you describe something in a higher plane literally and figuratively. Whatever we create may or may not bring us recognition, but it hopefully brings us joy. Your writing is really wonderful! Smiles!!
