Orion

suddenly the white
of the page reflects
the last remaining daylight
scribbling and scratching
the hand and the pen
blend together as one unit
peripheral still helps me climb
and see the stars every night
especially Orion have been noticing
that one since childhood
always made me feel connected
to certain unknown
and suddenly all learning
has become undone
and in that height
an understanding over and above
naming a creative force
we can't understand only
respect the light as it comes
and goes around as the clock
tells us the time when darkness
finally takes over Orion
will be bright overhead
like three pieces of silver
hanging from an infinite
thought each night...
