This morning as I
Step outside
To go to the pub I
See something unusual
It's midday
Blue skies and
I can see the great Dipper
Parallel to my house......
Strange.

This is a comfortable room
comf'terble

how much happier can we measure based on

now - here - this bubble of happy

is it expansive or expanding or

I am adrift in a sea of idle words, ah

ya'll reading and speaking are some difernt
'n' most folk think,

thanks how ahyoosta speak t hin k,

in the neolithic desert culture I's re
ared in.
All drinkin' from one metate hung from a rope,
a noose, with thirteen loops,

but, that's not me, not my ever was,

the metate I drank from hung in a neat
macreme sling with some feathers and seeds and

rocks knotted in "fer th'll ovidand hexation of spit'

and metate is what my uncle called the clay ***
with the dipper,

so if you thought this was a grinding story,

you are at the same place now, my miotio tol'me take

Mom, Grandpa's drunk. He said he's dead.

Constallations, a septette for shining stars
Seven in number, aline like no other, a fusion sign in melting white,
Caught in stellar evolution in the arts of the nuclear, they expand,
Red giants, the final step in their life, before they either blow the layer off gently tossing it into the depth of space, or they go out with a bang
The fall of these great stars, gifting light which is likely to grow life,
A nova which drags their orbital children to the deepest abyss releasing enough energy for a heavenly meltdown breaking hell loose
Stars, standing upon the pillars of creaton planted in there like trees,
Polaris, burn bright in white till you blow up, hell fire don't go out,
In line, with the others, you form a radiant great, or rather big dipper,
Oh you blazing fixed star, northern, luminous and majestic, shine on,
Let this dream fill you up with energy, rumbling deep inside, still you are satisfied, with the reactions, with speed much greater than sound,
A force which would easily break the earths ground, shatter it within moments of a violent dance of might and power beyond any reason,
For the millions, the septentrion shall shine on in a changing dipper,
Until the moment they die.

~ Umi

I’d like to say thank you
For showing me how
To pick out the Big Dipper
In a strangely starred sky.

beholding
the tipping
Big Dipper,
with its
dangling
handle,
traverse a
midwinter
northern sky
rising
in concert
with a
steadfast
sword
wielding
Orion,
mooring
the southern
firmament,
I stand
atop a
splotch
of black
macadam,
straddling the
equidistant
expanse of
all
ascending
celestial
spheres
