Ribbons, Volume 18, Number 3, Fall 2022

Waiting for Images from the Space Telescope


my vision
flickers for a moment
I try to focus
on earth's atmosphere
bending the light from stars

scattered across
a starling's feathers
constellations
catch and refract
the spectacle of night

how long
has it been since
we believed . . .
our bodies' atoms
traceable to the stars
