Rocket<\/h1>\n
by Pamela Riley<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
I hear the rustle<\/div>\n
of thick lipped sequoias<\/div>\n
tip-toeing on the wind;<\/div>\n
while underneath the bracken<\/div>\n
the light is barely breathing.<\/div>\n
Take me where the moon<\/div>\n
will not drop below the horizon<\/div>\n
and the call of morning doves<\/div>\n
is but a passing life – andromeda.<\/div>\n
I want the cool rapture of stars<\/div>\n
and the false color of evensong<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
jettisoning the sky<\/div>\n
like a rocket.<\/div>\n
