bent finger-grass
trimmed within a sixteenth of perfection
across this expanse,
floating in a pool of bricks,
pollen like shooting stars –
between us & the moon
strides an astronomical anomaly
a sight as sweet as milky ways, as buttercups
with the chaos – and luck – of Pluto crossing Neptune’s orbit
you fuck up my vision
microcosmos of saline beading down
my face irrigating the starscape
i plot your strange trajectory
