Fresh out of inspiration,<\/p>\n
I seek the shooting stars–<\/p>\n
see three bright slashes<\/p>\n
in infinite distance<\/p>\n
and several pretty close<\/p>\n
(the latter, moths, which streetlamps<\/p>\n
make almost comparable).<\/p>\n
A cloud of spiderweb<\/p>\n
blurrily catches light<\/p>\n
between electric wires.<\/p>\n
My heart ticks against my ribs,<\/p>\n
quivers in the triangle<\/p>\n
beneath my breastbone.<\/p>\n
I am a’rhythm with the crickets.<\/p>\n
Another<\/em>, I gasp–<\/p>\n someone has taken<\/p>\n a penknife to the heavens!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I return, warm with gratitude,<\/p>\n to a room that smells<\/p>\n like a holy day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fresh out of inspiration, I seek the shooting stars– see three bright slashes in infinite distance and several pretty close (the latter, moths, which streetlamps make almost comparable).
