I cede a brearth to the navy blue.
To the moon, malevolent,
Begging to swallow the earth
In one all-encompassing whirlwind
Of leafy boughs and tender earth
To the ribbon in the sky
Left carelessly by a smooth metal machine
A lace veil for the orb in the blue.
To the stars, all vying to be
The best and brightest
Looking pale next to that great
Celestial centerpiece.
It wholly deserves all my sighs.
