Domesticate the Heavens
duality
obscures
hue and color
insists on
yes or no
dark and light
defined
upright dashes
strident and strict
event horizons
everything pulled to merge with nothing
an absolute surrender to a singular power
too much togetherness cannot be abided
yet separation cannot be maintained
magnetism and gravity
the unexplainable and undeniable
repetition of coincidence
surmounts chance
periodic blasts
of heavy metal
radio cosmic centuries
illuminate the Way afar
pulse a home tattoo
plenty of space
to inhabit, stretch, and fold
ripples and waves between
the origin and the terminus
GO
begin your sensed narration
domesticate the heavens
***
red shift to blue
purple now reigns over
vision and depth
expanse and pinpoints
the sky is smeared and stained
bejewelled with a coronated maybe
a flower blooms
in earthen obscurity
hangs its head dutifully
but defies the architect
reveals its code
pixelated and glitched
the curtain upon creation
pleated and drawn askew
the lines of reality
seam, bias, and weave
revealed but blurred
from the oils
of my fingertips
corrupted from the tephra
exfoliated from my palms
threads snagged and frayed
from stitching too fast
still and stitch
a patch-work
garden grows
messy and disordered
chaotic and savage
mismatched
but verdant and enduring
infinitely beautiful and strong
