Up From the Gutter
I can still hear the yipping of coyotes,
In my ear,
Battling for dominance with the professor.
I feel, in my soul,
The icy sting of Old Night,
Working its way in my bones.
I remember the irritation that played across our faces in that cold night.
Then I looked up and saw,
Infinity.
A diamond-studded black cloak,
Mars dancing its merry dance,
The scarred silver dollar—the moon.
And the Infinite,
Omnipotent,
Unyielding Dark,
Forced back by Celestial Sparks.
