Cosmos

in his comings and goings
eddie the e has found himself
raised from the dead.
he’s happy to be back,
right where he belongs,
with a pen in his hand
and words tingling in his fingertips.

happy cake and candles!
blow up the balloons!
it’s your birthday!

the sun celebrates with you,
beaming with joy,
at home in the east,
roasting with the fervor
of a convert.

life
has signed
a long term lease.
love
is flapping
its orange black wings,
gathering
strength,
sipping
nectar,
ambrosia,
anemones,
asters.

auricles tell nothing
but good news.
vibrant blue orbs
flash with fires
of the future,
and life has no limits.

i baptize you
in the name of the Father
and of the Son
and of the Holy Ghost.
