Come August thirteenth
Perseids meteor shower

ordinary chondrites fall
elemental iron burns

I did not know about this thirteenth August thing. Is is something to be worried about? In any case we all are same elements - electrons, changing from one form to another, so why worry?
Enjoyed this very much. I live for the Perseids! Salute!
I love that last line.
"chondrites" - I love how that word feels between my teeth. Gritty and brittle - aren't the Perseids beautiful??!
Your simple and direct lines capture the awesome beauty of this phenomenon.
Thanks for your comment on my blog!
I might just stay in bed that day.
Thank you - it so so pleasant to find a blog that does not hide behind the prickly thicket of an unreadable word verification.
