“Santa Cru Coastline: Part 2”
“Further down the shoreline, where the sun struck the water at a steeper angle, constellations madly formed and reformed in fractions of seconds on the surface of the water. It looked like a slide show of the heavenly formations tremendously sped up, now ten stars to the left and five above, now an elongated “L,” then a scatter-shot nebula; brilliant, dazzling, blinding, silver stars flashing, floating, blazing, scintillating, fulgurating, now a “T,” now ten in a vertical row and three larger ones below – the heavens had fallen to the sea and quaffed some psychedelic accelerant on their way down, putting on a show that shamed that presented on the fourth of July. Or now they seemed like ship signals glinting emergency messages with urgent fervor. “Need assistance! Red giant and dwarf siblings have fallen to the sea. Won’t last for long. Send help!” (from “Remembering Eternity”)
