The Jellyfish Nebula

Solstice

the coalesced dust (so massive the core melts) spins

was our water from the cosmos hurled as snowballs

from a playful creator

and then caught at the poles so we could share in the fun

as they come down in season

or sing silent night with the snow angels

yes we are snow and rain

and dust and ether

and sunshine

blessed sunshine

tip back good earth

and warm us
