  • Equinox

    four hundred and sixty
    meters per second
    tracking a prograde elliptical orbit
    an average of nearly
    one hundred and fifty million kilometers
    around a nuclear fireball
    immense
    seven hundred thousand kilometers wide
    a wet ball of rock
    barely sixty three hundred kilometers thick
    askew on her axis
    twenty-three degrees
    touches a mathematical moment
    briefly marking the progress through
    cold space against
    ever-shifting durations of light upon
    her surface
    nudging atmospheric variations
    triggering biological changes
    bridging annual manipulations
    of air and water and life
    marked by words we simply call
    seasons

    I have reserved some space on this blog each week to be creative, and to post some fiction, poetry, art or prose. Writing a daily blog could easily get repetitive and turn into driveling updates. Instead, Wordy Wednesdays give me a bit of a creative nudge when inspiration strikes.
