Dear Astronaut
by David C. Kopaska-Merkel
Pomegranate tea
I drink to you
dusk gathering
in your garden
Lambs borrow diamonds
and ride the sky
ancient poems you
painted on scrolls
bowls full of asters
your flower
incense burning
smoke remaking
lines on paper
transient potentials
tracing signatures on time
The roof pole you raised
is transited by your
wandering star
forever out of reach
never long
out of sight
or mind
