Coloring the Day


It started early in the astrological cycle

Before anything had blended into form

I reached toward a vulnerable calling card

This was going to lead somewhere revelatory

This enterprise was all spiritual horns and no body

I found the brightness flowing around me

And a sweet butterscotch coloring building

A parade of passing retrospective artifacts

Grabbing at blueprints of the universe

Curly handwritten mood swings smear the auburn sky

There is a circular unzipping of theatrical confusion

From fingerprints to forensics adorn the horizon

I flatten the tone bursting with zodiac referrals

Energy bursting from the creases in my heritage

No random groan without being triumphant on all fronts

I glance up just in time to marry Mars to my uncharted laugh
