Outside
The silence laid me
on a blanket,
the darkness
folding around me
in white-light edges.
I could see through
the sky
beyond the planets
to the prayers,
a wash of connected puzzle lines
abounding with souls
walking the wire
from questions to answers.
A car passed by
to break my reverie,
standing on my porch
staring at the night sky
the stars
crashed into one another,
the beyond lost to me.
I blinked, turned,
and almost lost my balance,
walking my own wire
from alive to living.
Trans-Neptunian Objects
he remembers his dad,
behind him,
fading into the sky
throwing a
noncommittal wave;
when he turns
to face the old man
he debates
whether to wave back
Mars, Jupiter, Uranus,
now Neptune
his father passes
on the way to Pluto
he remains
staring into the sky
still deciding
whether it matters
