THE CANOPY OF AIR

The pages of a tightly coiled spiral
you can find the galaxies of outer space animals
see ctenophore
the distance to a rectangle
enclosing perfectly symmetrical spheres
clouds of gas and dust three thousand feet
eight thousand meters deep
spin turbulent configurations
with the waters hairlike hard protective

two colliding galaxies pass through each other
at some trackless crossroad
dark intruding opaque matter
the six hundred feet of water above the seafloor
space of lies where the seafloor
is no more than something in my brain

bioluminescence of the galaxies,
the stars within them
a form of camouflage one mile from the shore
the amount of plant and animal life
in a given area used by most comb jelly
architecture for the life he was born to live
indoor outdoor linen enveloped in the powder
feeling the timeless southern textures.
