Camelopardalis & Canus Major
The shallow bays
with their water lilies & their chickweed,
beneath the cobalt-blue dragonflies at the corner of the eye,
their nervously close brown-yellow bottoms with dead tree trunks
and boulders glided over, cautiously sensed,
are mysteriously superior to me
as I drift daydreaming
in the kayak –
but I am the thoughts about them
that they need,
to take hold in the etched plate
of wandering peoples
and intractable species
at the breathing stops
in the vicinity of the star AC+79 3888
in the constellation Camelopardalis
and by the great star Sirius in Canis Major,
where geometry is granted a surprising freedom,
in which Karlheinz Stockhausen sits
with his beautiful handwriting
and ticks them off:
