A Galaxy In Sand - an illustrated poem

 by Christina Brodie, UK

 
 

I

Diatom suns sway crescent moon’s course;

Cushion star collides with miser’s purse;

Triangle’s ting forces pillbox doors,

A galaxy in sand;

II

Foraminifera forage fast;

Archimedes’ spirals, plaited loaves,

Antique amphorae and bubblerafts,

A galaxy in sand;

III

Radiolarians radical;

Spiked skeletons rise with soothing swell,

Horned Vikings Teuton Templars tumble,

A galaxy in sand;

 

Crescent moon turns ocean wheel makes sea to land…

A galaxy in sand.
