Playing with different resources while using my own words produced the following:
Cyclone of Stars
Orion's belt rises as he stalks the Pleiades
Andromeda cradle-rocks her stellar nursery
the bleeding hand of tides rises and falls
driftwood kiva reflects in a froth of pool
soft as dandelion parachutes in falling dusk
half an hourglass disguises the end of day
hanging on to the tail of a dream
a snarling wind unboxes a cyclone of stars
built like a house of cards, the light lets go
as if it had never been involved
in the last dregs of the passing
nightjars hieroglyph a song into the dust
A fractal image.
