in a forest of deep blue–
Music spiring dreams.

Waiting, still, waiting,
the unbearable lightness

he tracked existential crumbs
to a chance verdict.

So near to this thing,
this love, chastened, on shore’s edge–
Forever, dear, yes.

Constellate
Posted on

John Biscello
To see the stars,
in daytime, like a siege
of radiant, glyphic minnows
constellating upon the surface of a lake,
this, the child’s gift
to vision, undisturbed.

Some launches
do not require
propulsion
but rather firm
solid rootedness
to
this floating world.
