Stars

 Like waves crashing on a beach 
faces sinking into the murk 
amid shafts of sunlight below
thriving green stagnant ponds

phantoms of angler fish merging
into fading profiles of Maya kings
legion drown into the scintillating murk
overseen by the eye of a cephalopod 

or is that a spider exactly the wind
hisses over diamantine droplets 
you're just conjuring a host of names
the human heart a polished mineral 

making contact along the circuit
breakers sinking like a rosary 
dropped from the deck of the Titanic
the demonic wreaths of coral gardens await

O, green whale, eagle of the depths 
spilling incense taking turbulent shapes
of faces mirrored along the crown of eyes
shredding into angels of birds 

the Ancient of Days reflected in stellar parallax 
within a quadrant of time reaching out 
for the heart of a burial into rebirth staring 
back from the well fed wide open hole
