Sidereal Nectar
by Scott Thomas Outlar / August 22nd, 2021
Yellow neon fluorescence escaping
behind the cover of pines
full moon bows a graceful retreat
replaced by live wires and humming generators
I will write a poem on tea leaves
about ripened figs and the prince of parables
crown the skyline at five a.m.
while Venus dances to her own blinking pulse
electricity spells half of the story
a magnet clenched between teeth to attract the pull
cross-tide and chemical trails
hung from the wings of gods and ghosts
breathe deeply of the moment while it lasts
then beg for mercy that another arrives
