Milky Way

honeymoon
        on artichoke boat
                       after being hit by
                                          monsoon

bride in flower chafer
             as a salsa dancer
                    dives into the sky river

bending her thin legs
              in all directions
                     causing convulsions

meringue of soap bubbles
                             swell and
                             swell in the wind

flower chafer stiffens her toes on the surface of river water
eventually she left at ephemeral life like the    shooting    star
