Looking Up
night parades
its candelabra of lush cosmos.
lunar sliver ladles ocean,
sickles a falling star.
humbled, my little eyes,
meek as the merest trilobite,
and my heart, too, the fossil of a rose,
watch as the ardent gems of a scattered universe
melt away the stone.
partnered to soar,
heavenly with ancient flame.
