Electric Ursa

Joan Shelley


Easy, ursa, don’t stir, don’t fright
We are only passing through here in the waning autumn light

Under your stars, your earthless movement
Pawing fruitless through barren heavens

Easy, easy, resting with her
Moments given unto the ether

Lay down your claim, your labored motion
Fall into her in warm collision

Under your stars, your earthless movement
We are only feeble humans

On and on
And over and over and over
