HORARY for Winter Solstice
Near the south galactic pole
between Cetus and Sculptor
beyond the universe of naked eye
Galaxy 253
shimmers
To its west
near the galactic equator and ecliptic intersection
the diffuse nebulae M20 and M8
stellar sphinxes—guardians at the winter solstice point
of our northern hemisphere
shimmer
On my earth
wild roses perfume this afternoon's rain
On my earth
in the 21st century after Christ
after countless way-showers and seed-sowers
the only revolution left
is love.
