Honorable Mention
Hubble Reflections
Marty Abuloc

An immensity of stars
galaxies, planets
perhaps eternities that transpire
at this moment
as light years ago, or hereafter
The gas clouds darken and take on colors

What scent do these stars have?
Does the rain taste as sweet,
or do hurricanes of vast magnitude
destroy worlds and suns
in the slow violence of an enduring scream
and what sound, what cries can be heard?
How vast the galaxial winds
fanning wings of nebula,
a measure of forever in a thimble of space?
How little we are,
our time, our nights, our rains.
How feeble our voices in the deep resonance
of birthing galaxies.
How mundane our heartbreaks, our pains
to the spasms of colliding stars.

Yet in this spectacle
somewhere a rose grows,
or a dew falls,

a child utters his first daddy
and cries
becomes everything
more moving than the enormous sails
that tilt the orbits of systems,
more profound than the mathematical equations
that perfects the synchronicity of stars
in universal schematics

Stars and storms are stilled
for milk at two a.m.
