To you in the highest
Comestible sunset
A celestial body outlaw
Close enough to dump material
on that other star
Mad math of the prism
Mother of light
Helios – mouth of the annelid
Of invertebrate starts
Maw of the under beyond
Pineal subways, circulatory systems, sudden moon phases
Pumping vessels flowering ganglia
Gloria, fair
Gloria, olive
Gloria, midnight
Ejecting plasma
