Missing the Geminids
stars and petals
anemones
as above so below
in the river
Ophelia
in Millais' bath
Elizabeth Siddal
She painted and drew
The Lady of Shallott
turning from her loom
and mirror
patience patience
I step into the water
the shock of it
seeing Anna's encaustic practice
I smell melting wax, hear bees
feel the press and slide
on touchpads of our fingertips
I missed the Geminids again
sleep and clouds took us
work the next day
my piano teacher said
don't practice your mistakes
I take another step
