Perseids—
ashtral projection
of an urn
 
ever now
the underbelly
of stardust
 
redshift
stardrift
lightsift
 
Southern Cross—
my albatross 
of exile
 
echo-light
in meteoric fall
of darkness
 
in faith
the cloud cover
of doubts
 
down-fall
light's burn-up
in coming
 
sibilant
the background resonance
of silence
