Pegasus

by Dan Mitrut


In gardens of opal
at the edge of the observable Universe,
the winged brave stopped:

"Master,
look at my right ear
for the maps
with the honey combs of abyss
calculated in time.
Otherwise,
we don't know
what kind of Scorpion
could come here ...

and we shall lose our way!"
