To a Comet Passing (Free verse) by Frass
Sometimes I
pull in the net of my reach
and glide like a rock fish
behind the stones of my hide
tough and glinting
dazzling...
fearfully.
Sometimes I
snap crackle burn
once a pilot light
now a pyre
as I turn on a flametip
from within...
orange white
carbonizing
seed.
Sometimes I
speak with lizard lips...
yet this is now
and will be forever
facets of this universe
glittering everywhere
eventually
outshine
me.
Today I...
will change.
