Zebulon Huset

Triangle Shaped by Window Inches In, Afternoon

​Castoff light
                        from
            an unimpeded sun
also cajoling molecules
                        before eyeballs.
 
Some flitting
                        dust mites
            and friction-filched
flecks of dead skin
                        fletch the air, but
            so much nitrogen.
 
So much volatile,
                        vibrating chemical,
            waiting to kaboom.
 
Where they mine
                        natural gas,
            faucets
become flamethrowers.
 
We, flammable carbon
                        and so much water.
            Don't supernova. Yet.
Pace your fission.
 
The afternoon yawns,
                        again.
 
Leave the dishes
                        in the sink.
            Float to bed.
It's early, still.
