White Flesh of the Moon

in poetry •  6 years ago

Across the night
Sprinkled stars
Apple blossoms strewn


Swirl in eddies
Overhead
A slow spinning typhoon

To note orientations
And notations
I need quaternions and interpolations...

The music of the spheres
Is deaf to human ears
Or at least, this generation.


Yet a stick in the ground
Tracks the sun around
For equinox and solstice

But now we have machines
To complicate the scheme
Of seed time and harvest

I still prefer to use
The Earth as my cue

And a simple twig
I’ve rigged
To plot Ley Lines of tombs

Struggling to harpoon
The white flesh of the Moon.

Eran aquellas noches de horas limpias y transparentes cuando los astros eran los guías de nuestros destinos, @johngeddes. El influjo de la gran luna en la naturaleza es incuestionable y nosotros somos parte de esa naturaleza. Nuestros ojos alzados descansan en las leyes delirantes del universo, peregrinan en el azul oscuro buscando señales que nos guíen a puerto seguro, como nuestros ancestros. Ojalá que al mirar la luna, una estrella fugaz pase y te conceda un deseo. Llueve torrencial por aquí. Feliz noche.

Al lado de una noche estrellada, amo la lluvia - es una bendición - lluvias de bendiciones - sí, amo la vida elemental en su simplicidad - marcando la procesión de los solsticios simplemente observando el cielo y la Tierra
