June Flying Carpet 2015

In June 

The Flying Carpet

gazed into mirrors 

and windows 

and reflections

in the wonder of Venice

"Mirrors:

each drawing its own

widespread streaming beauty

back into its face" -Rilke

Enormous constellation globes

 Floating star mysteries

In the hush of rooms of dust

Ancient pattern upon pattern

Where air is water and water is air

And space becomes conundrum

And the rooms are abandoned

to grandeur

Special thanks to my companion and navigator Z
