Constellation of Mists

Bone-cold night riddled with mists
off the ocean churn
Raptured from deep dark salt caves
in prehistoric canyon trenches.

This great atomic hive
a million buzzing hydrogen wings
on fat oxygen bumble bees

Now dancing around your head
like ecstatic angels
on a pinhead godhead

Our greatest effort to blossom
is only the courage to stand in it and laugh
with cold wet faces
and salty lips.
