Her Beauty Is Large (Enough to Fill the Sky)

She

slips

darkness

into day,

sowing confusion

as she brazenly unravels

the tapestry of time’s known passage out and about,

where all else cannot help but bear

witness to her craft;

her presence

blots out

the

sun.

The

world

succumbs

to her might,

her right, her delight

in toying with night, bending all

the universe around pinky finger to cast on

to her wheel, realigning these

stars and fates to suit—

she will make

her own

dreams

real.
