Mortal Geometry

The prick horned stars

drift in the spiral arms

of galactic motion.


On the sea-ribbed sand,

a shark offers up

his pale belly with its

wide-lipped wound.


Caught in moonlight,

a man picks at his sheet,

murmuring a litany to ghosts.


Above him, one star

implodes, dust threads sucked

through the eye of infinity.
