Haiku #21

Night embroidery

stars are strewn like white french-knots

on a black silk sky.

Relatively Speaking

(Just another old poem – while waiting for this writer’s block to crack…)

.

We can wag

the comet’s tail

till our orbits spin

like bracelets

that bangle ‘round the sun

or we can skip

through the stars

in a game of

of ancient hop-scotch

where constellations

dance a jig

and time shrinks

to a dot

and we see

there is no distance,

just a difference

of thought.

These millions

of crispy soft stars

from above

billow and lighten,

lifting our feet

beyond the earth -

the deeper it gets

the higher we go!
