Searchlights
by Alter Brody

TINGLING shafts of light,
Like gigantic staffs
Brandished by blind, invisible hands,
Cross and recross each other in the sky,
Frantically 
Groping among the stars 
stubbing themselves against the bloated clouds 
Tapping desperately for a sure foothold
In the fluctuating mists.

Calm-eyed an

Answer 1

Calm-eyed and inaccessible
The stars peer through the blue fissures of the sky,
Unperturbed among the panic of scurrying beams;
Twinkling with a cold, acrid merriment.
