I love getting sexy with the natural world. I love astronomy. I love mythology. I love anthropomorphizing nature.
So you can imagine that I really loved Perseid, by Wolfnwings. So much so that I felt compelled to share it with you. Enjoy!
Perseid
That night
dozen of dying star bodies
streaming their rocket tails
in the near-black
night sky
each one shooting for the
beloved sea
in a suicide kiss
each light a celestial
sacrifice
until…
my body
slipping into black waters
silent as the night
liquid loving my cool skin
and each parting stroke
revealed a phosphorescent
dream
as though that
kamikaze glitter
had been swallowed
and saved
in a pearl-black belly
a hungry ocean
swallowing all light

The last stanza is brilliant. I don’t think I’ll ever again see a shooting star without thinking of it as “kamikaze glitter” – thanks for sharing.
Sizzling! I love it!
magic!
Great visual.

Once you read this, you’ll never look at shooting stars the same way again. 🙂
hi lightning droplets! I dig your blog, so I nominated you for the OneLovelyBlog award. Hope you don’t mind! http://ianstarttoday.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/one-lovely-blog-award/
It’s a ‘pay it forward’ kind of award, showcasing blogs to other bloggers. You say 5 random facts about yourself and then nominate around 5-7 other blogs you like for the award.
That is very beautiful!
