A green flash across the night, Once, then twice, then still in flight, With sun-drawn tail against the trite, Once in eight hundred orbits of light, From frozen home survived the sun, Atlas watched the earth from above, As some looked back and noticed one, Atlas looked back as Icarian fell, Sungazer lost in ashen melt, So on carried the snow-stone, Cold into the stars alone. — GITM “Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3)” {rest in space C/2024 S1 }

the sun glittered down on the rain inside

lofty shadows climb on the rays in sight

discreet scattered hums on the air beside

people mill about through the window light

here there, clear as may, with the glass sill tight

no stones, just perplexed, in my heart a sigh

-GITM “Butterfly Depression”

There you’ ll find me deep among the trees With marbled light directing thee With ribs up toward divinity ~ There I’ll be among the trees With arms outstretched kyrie melodies, eleison as sunlit colors grace my skin ~ Here I’ll be among the trees Whose marbled trunks bring melodies Whose shimmering leaves bless all beneath and all without are welcomed in ~ Here you’ll find me in the trees with stars that shadow only seem to gleam Where sky and earth both seem to blur And peace is not a dream - GITM “The Trees”

As the clouds roll away The sky never parts Twas not of water born this day But ashes at its heart -GITM “Wildfire Smoke”

Do you believe in soulmates? Not of romantic love But fellow fractals Each a shard Of the same shattered star

-GITM “Collection 4: Soulmates”

[giantsinthemist]

Across the room facing me Sits a soul with a lamp Where it’s heart should be Its glistening face From tear trails stream who said my soul is open source!? Each drop—the lamp is flickering

Write a poem about a lamp that keeps flickering out

[giantsinthemist]

salty sweet, dark chocolate smell, pain relief from the pain’s own well, a fuzzy head and need of sleep, In pain though drifting off to sleep

Hourglass tilting o’er the tides T’was only once it fell behind
