Stargazing

Very deeply expressed.

``But somewhere
in your patches
of inky indigo
lies the explanation
of your points of light`` - especially this part.

Good over-all effect.

Is it Omar the poet?

``The Archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and he bends you with His might, that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending, in the Archer`s hand, be steadfastly true to yourself. For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so too does He love the bow that is strong and stable.``

Or Omar, the astronomer?
about..Autumnal Equinox and false dawn

Or saggittarius , the archer:
Is that ``his`` sign too?

Is ``he`` from the ``third culture`` as well [rings like ``third-world`` to me; poet`s licenteoustness?]

Mushrooms and flotsams.
dandelions, dust-devils
we are, not knowing
So much we`ve gained,
we`ve no time to count.

when is a flower, weed
a cactus, a decor?
an attar, an oil
an essence, a perfume?
a passion, a craze
a fashion, a fad
an employment, work
and idleness, a dream?

Licensed (`` its enshrined!``)
to howl, yelp, snarl
but at appointed hours
in a single file, with decorum
observing traffic-lights
looking askance at cameras.
``Are you looking at us?``

Orchestrating. Hamming it up.
The best realTV show
providing ``breaking-news``
creating jobs for siblings
who never protest.

Once for all
When death & carnage
is everyday normal stuff
the ``breaking-news`` today
is:

You & I,
are alive.
