Space: Three Poems

December 5, 2024

Amnesia

a hollow, deep and wide,

Amnesia took all bit by—

no latest in my thoughts,

sounds bloom like delicate petals,

never do they depart,

but chase and cherish tranquility.

 

Twilight

Stars cluster under a pool of visions

side by side at twilight. Murmurs under 

sparks cloud their route. Gusts push back

waves in their calm basin.

Space grows.

 

Beneath

Here, where earth and art intertwine,

a mosaic of blues, greens, and reds, 

light moves through them, alive.

 

Golden spires, sharp and towering, pierce

the sky, casting shadows that dance along 

green surrounding trees. On another side,

long, slender stalks of deep blue glass emerge 

from the soil, stretching in thin, elegant lines.

 

Beneath the vast glass dome, 

flowers bloom in pink and violet, 

mingling with the orange and red

tendrils that curl and arc, wild and free,

where boundaries blur and blend. 

 

Here, where I stand beneath a canopy

of glass, a man demonstrates an ancient craft

of glassmaking as a searing, molten orb 

turns to a sculpted form, glowing with

the intense heat of its transformation.
