"Omniscience from the Upper Atmosphere"

Moving to a new format now, a poem a day, regardless of length.  I may occasionally post some prose, but that's an uncertainty.  So anyway, enjoy.


"Omniscience from the Upper Atmosphere"

The liquid skin of a great lake, a
blue-cerulean rippling fingerprint.

Matted clouds of sheared sheep’s wool
melt flat throughout the atmosphere.

The patchwork farmland landscape,
square-quilted corn and still-green grains.

Sun-sparks bounce back from steel cells
on the concrete veins of man’s ambition.
