The Universe an immense black heartbeat
and ours a small pulse within it-
2am the August night Stridulous
with crickets, I rise towards a larger Life
The Toyota, a willing complicator,
starts awake at a whisper of a key
he moonless fields cold, the MilkyWay
unfolds its star map above the black roads
I spread a blanket on the still warm hood
A bright point rips the darkness, a cat's claw
on velvet, And sublter displays : Mars's
train approaching far in the east; Diamond
chaired Casseopia; The Swan Embossed
on ethernal summer. More meteors'
criss-crossing hello-g
oodbyes. What a bargain,
in exchange for a little more sleep I won't
miss when I am dead, meeting these fairey
travelers'who give everything to touch our sky
