Dog Days

Dog Days

Floating in the still, dark pond
Summer stars drop from the sky
Liquid bodies circle, touch, and glide
Permeable frog-skins
Opening to moonlight,
Scented in weight of poisonous Brugmansa.
Sirius, Leo, Cassiopeia,
Heavenly bodies
Circle liquid space
Reflecting one another
Equally profound and beautiful
Universe within universe
Resonating wonder.

I love this! It brought back summer memories of laying in the grass at night watching for shooting stars and feeling totally at peace.
