The Spilling of Orion’s Last Great Secret
Look beyond the lark,
toward
those dark foreboding
angry skies ..
There, upon the brow
where crazy,
ancient undulations
hide from view
a flimsy silvered scarf ..
More amorphous
than mercury ever was ..
Yet know this,
her majesty resides
there still,
reclined across the nape
and back of
our lord, Orion’s nebula ..
