Meditation on Pasture

Prairie fern, and prairie fracture –
This is the processional way
The landscape expresses its classical
Roots. Cow pie is a ruined column,
Stinging nettle is acanthus,

And the graveyard is our
Geocentric model.
The stars above, what’s beyond
Them, and what’s beyond that?

The zodiac can only screen our desire,
Add a little mosaic, arabesque.
O' scum pond,
Prairie observatory, giant
Reflector aimed at the moon,
We skinny dip in your convex sight.
