Is this what wonder is?

I am fishing for small pickles
sour in the greenness of a jar

until I read

indigo buntings migrate by night
follow patterns of stars
to south america

an image of them
burns through darkness

oddly when I close my eyes
I see small shadows

goldfish without color
burnt-out holes swimming deep

cerulean seas
where in soundless fathoms

mysteries like bright stars
shine
