Divinings

Circumscribe you aspirations

with meanderings in local parks

the dream of being universal shelved

to find mushrooms in the yard

exploring star clusters

with dredges in your tea cup

and working divinations through fading found polaroids 

a tablet’s touch glass replaced 

with a custom sheet of onyx 

the scrying pod rests in the grass

dissecting the clouds as they omen overhead

lightning claps a remix

beating low-tempo dance music 

a song of longing and love

lined with the gods' buyers remorse 

at the mishmashed shape of the continents

and the irascibility 

of how their humans turned out.
