What’s crouching invisible on the horizon
-a different density
– a sphynx of existence
unperceived by our antennas
– a dearth of words
enfolding or exposing the Event
it just looms there
directing the traffic
of flocks
the panopticon
of volcanos and faults
laughing at human conjecture
plans and cognition
geopolitical conjunction
the looming finds it hilarious
that prophets and dowsers
weathermen and seers
pridefully scan the sky
casting a befuddled eye
only to be doused with
a smattering of star dust
solar flare and magnetic atoms
– a slithering puzzle
– enigmatic eel of a skyline
