SANCTUARY

·

sanctuary: in the library of his heart

silver pen trips on the beat of a poem

a windfall of solitary moments strung

among the lights of the Three Marias*

casting the shards of promise across

the midnight-blue of a kindling muse

Orion Belt with the stars (the “Three Marias”) Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. The color picture was composited from digitized black and white photographic plates recorded through red and blue astronomical filters, with a computer synthesized green channel. The plates were taken using the Samuel Oschin Telescope, a wide-field survey instrument at Palomar Observatory, between 1987 and 1991. Davide De Martin of SkyFactory
