COSMIC EMPATHY
To R. Bruce Elder with Love
She thinks of fracturable you almost departing
for the duration
And reminds herself ranges
of mist-shrouded mountains
Yield to spang-swirling breezesway. Looks up: Takes small
Comfort in absolute certainty
the finest minds [Delphinus/Upsilon Scorpii/Aquila?]
secure Apodis
To Vulpeculae, multitudes,
serried, flowheart circularities,
cinturing streak-glittering across the canvas
of infinite connection.
From Judith Fitzgerald’s Impeccable Regret (Vancouver: Talonbooks, 2015).
