Spots on Pluto
James M M Baldwin
Pluto splashed his haunted mind
Onto the underworlds' souls
His Ambitions beaded on the surface until fermented
Hunting gateways through the thought fabric protecting inner layers
Inside, minuscule particles spread across a vast blue synapse expanse
Bit by bit, literary granules seep deeper
Wrapped in damp fog blankets
Gathering,
condensing into clouds
Forming puffy white images
floating
A bear
A lion
Growing darker
Growing larger
A dragon
Lightning bolts race from synapse to synapse
Thunder's rumble portends catastrophe
Teardrops fall on a windblown path
An explosion of understanding
Hitting fertile neurons
Gushing torrents
Nourishing the sapling as it sprouts and rises
Branching out, producing fruit
Aspiration achieved
