Omen
At twenty hours
the wispy spine
pink in the sky
throwing last rose highlights
onto sap-green pine tips
only the tallest
largest fish whale flying
ancestral reminder dissolving
moving east
tail end thrashing
cross vast milky way’s path
lone dragon flies in locked
tandem working next year’s
alchemy
a sky scattered tonight
skeletons fossilized translucent
heaven as oracle
