From The Earth

From the unfurling aurora borealis- an ectoplasmic green cloud in a dimension beyond our soil- curtains the dark sky. But there are some human markers- passing aircraft trails lit up- moving in-between the ‘Great” Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn on a cold December night.. Transparency has a part to play; these are modest ornaments; the comet is a spray artifact offering a ghostly commentary on a universe beneath- here is a milk stain planet Saturn, falling down the sky, while it softly imprints- like the feathers of a bird glassing itself.
