Taurids

The Thunderstone of Ensisheim
Woodcut of Ensisheim Meteorite
that fell into a wheatfiled in Alsace (now France)
the morning of 11-7-1492

Midnight ink burning light
Grazing celestial kisses
Languid eye of stardust

Impassioned pleas
And astral yearnings
Emboldened ebony veil

Glowing embers
Within crystal spheres
Swimming sea of Night

Colliding galaxies
Novatic emanation
Fervent spirits streaming

Flaming hair
Metallic tooth
Bites the shadowed throat

Scorching fireball
Bursts a cloud
Plows the gentle earth
