Taken In

the night sky
over the Black Sea

I will drink you in

my constellation wheel
armed for the summer
anchors me in time

else the wind
and glowing planets
would sweep me away

but I stay
and become celestial
within my rhythms

only occasional satellites
carving up the sky
give subtle reminders

while I spread out
and reflect across
the sea's expanse

planets and satellites
dancing across my plane

and everything that seems

distant

becomes a part of me
