New Discoveries
for Ari-Belle and Steph

Stepping out of the shower yesterday morning:

I noted my roadmap has changed
Faint silver streams
Long ago formed
End in new reddish rivers
And pools

My gentle slopes, my hills and my valleys
Once soft curves and flat plains
Rise up Mountain like
Bold firm and proud, newly formed
From beneath

The stars of my belly-once bright taunt
And spinning-stretch now to
The point of explosion
Across the dome of my new sky
Supernovas

Waiting for the birth of my new world
