She steps from the Oort curtains,
sweeping toward center-stage in a
dizzying arc, her gown a
luminous exclamation of her beauty.
She circles, radiant, demanding attention,
glorious in the evening sky -- beautiful,
yet with a heart of ice.
The subject of much poetry through the ages, the comet turns out to be an icy snowball that only comes to life as it nears the sun or crashes into a planet.
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
