Astral

by Bertram Sparagmos

Looking through the glass
Your real image
My faint silhouette
We live this adjacency

I reflect partial light
You undulate the spectrum
I the vacuum
You the nuclear

Sailing the void
Lonely
Even in the sun
Rhetorical prolepsis is my ship and mast

But my anchor is low
And if you decide to strain upward
I just may
Strike earth

Amazing poetry. It's all great, but I especially like that second stanza.

I'm glad to have found your library. These quick step lines keep things direct, simple, and yet connecting great distances. I admire the last line and the anchor, the possibility of actual physical contact. Thanks.
