A Poem by Kylan

glass-eye, seeing

eye, showing the bee-dances of stars and

constellations. through his telescope,

the universe expands                     red, inhaling, knitted

gasgiant temper tantrums        scatter-

plot of suns,

tetnus of a ruined nova, like a god

in immortal pain. snail mail

light -- it has taken     millionsmillionsmillions^3

of years to illuminate this single, spectacled

astronomer.


half a world away, a shooting star

unzips the night

coyly.


and we point.
