A BOY SLIPPED AND FELL UP

A boy on a winters night
Knew the ground underfoot 
From countless trips to the
Outbuildings such as the barn.

This one time he looked up for a moment.
A sensation came of falling up into the dark
Except the dark was a not a night dark.
It was an interstellar deep dark.

The depth of moving panels of color
Captured some department of this brain.
Made for each other they triggered
Recognition that created a living memory.

Up into the mystery of interstellar deep dark
Fell the boy now grown to  age ninety years.
Still living with the Aurora Borealis
As companion on the mortal journey.
