Solstitium Pluit
6th century mosaic pavement Beit Alph Synagogue, Israel In the longest night An abundant sky Sheds celestial tears On a desolate planet Wrapped in the arms Of my astronomad We orbit the Earth On a lithic asteroid Our Elysian chambers Warmed by effluvium drifts A deepening repose For star-struck voyagers The Solstice Star Blinks noiselessly A shimmering note On our nebulaic bed Then a headfirst plunge Near the axial tilt Clinging to stardrops We return to Earth...
