Previews to CANVASSING ART contd.: IN THE GALAXY

By V. Shruti Devi (quill-o-the-wisp)


Kuru

Ca va

Say where

 

Wish I were

Say when

-the shores of time

 

Galactic

‘neath Orion

Scrambling myths 'n' nebulae,

stars

Que cera cera

 

Betelgeuse, Isis, Noah’s ark

A house-full tub

A-grounded sub

 

We all are

the nuclear power

 

Tinsel, standstill

Stardust churns

‘neath oceans, skylines,

pink sunset burns

 

At being museumized,

they’d all have turns

beneath Orion.

 

The periscope’s upward crane

Plumbs the universe

from its earthly plane

 

The seeds of all creation

find their berths

Humankind oughtn’t leave their hearths

 

Align these skies

in your planet’s den

Enter a restful slumber

even before you can count to ten.
