the night is still

on deserts calm and the
stars exploding in little dots
above the sky
as I stride
in large steps
across the fallow fields of
weed and vine
to take my rightful place
beneath the dim light
of the universe
beneath the exploding nebulae
and nova bright
and stars in silent chaotic nuclear anarchy
spray the nothingness of eternity
with the glitter of life
and the light of
being
