“Grand Sky/Grand Prairie Both harbor the vastness of space. One holds the space Of starlight, thunder snow, rock and icy comets, scrolls Of clouds; the other the spaces inside see heart and ovum, Root webs, spider webs, budded blossoms. They lean together tightly day and night, pressing One into the other, each creating the horizon of the other. They exchange themselves. At evening one becomes The steady night in which the other lives. Yet witness How the moon first rises from the body of the prairie Into the height of the sky that then possesses it. Their horizons are persistent illusion.” — Pattiann Rogers
Grand Sky/Grand Prairie
Both harbor the vastness of space. One holds the space
Of starlight, thunder snow, rock and icy comets, scrolls
Of clouds; the other the spaces inside see heart and ovum,
Root webs, spider webs, budded blossoms.
They lean together tightly day and night, pressing
One into the other, each creating the horizon of the other.
They exchange themselves. At evening one becomes
The steady night in which the other lives. Yet witness
How the moon first rises from the body of the prairie
Into the height of the sky that then possesses it.
Their horizons are persistent illusion.
