Perseid

Jeff Dai – Perseid fireball, Aug. 11, 2013
Taken from Mount Jinfo, Chongqing, China

A soundless flicker
A smoldering streak
Awaken the dreaming eye

A shimmering flash
Fragmented flames
A glowing trail left by

As so your breath
Against my cheek
Burnished ardent vapours

You brush your hand
Across my back
Effect atmospheric pressure

Then all will bend
To galactic force
All hail the meteor’s nascence

A singeing flare
With impatient thrust
Shall court his cosmic siren

And Earth will ope’
Her dewy mouth
A yielding lip so tender

A blushing kiss
Its tremulous graze
Ignites the Perseid ember
