The astronomer’s brain
is full of quoted stars
charted by clusters
is full of quoted stars
charted by clusters
potential pulsed
and pouring down to the
feet of Orion all blue-white
splashed belt whipping
around the sky
planisphere of the observed
through night desert glass
we peek into the greater room
by a concrete dome
bent reflection to an equatorium
under the metry of Uraniborg
writing a moon’s wink on our tidal dreams.
