Music of the Spheres
Flat
Earth,
old home,
marble domed
and painted with stars,
easier for simple mortals
than this slowly spinning ball suspended in chaos.
Pythagoras heard heavenly harmony humming in space – the planets’ mystic song.
Divine choreography ruled humanity’s fate
while we worshipped blindly below,
humble and fearful,
ignorant, trusting -
less
brave.

Alcyon and Ceyx
Dead,
drowned,
Ceyx,
storm-waved corpse.
The morning star’s son
extinguished. His limp limbs’ signal,
love’s semaphore. Alcyon runs to drown on his kiss.
Their celestial fathers look down, Aeolus, lord of winds, Lucifer, prince of stars.
Nature’s gods know the power of metamorphosis -
love transformed exists beyond death.
Two spirits take wing.
Alcyon,
Ceyx,
fly
freed!

But remember blue
