There is an ocean large
above Texas
where copper flickers
ivory fish ribs scale the expanse like veins in overgrown leaves
and a skeleton man smiles down
at me
Where clouds paddle near eternity
And I inhale and swim intermittently
Where from one small light
generations are born
And stars salute as soldiers to respectable seniors
And I am absorbed into the might
The night of this great Texas sky
