Angela Massucco

Nebra Sky

Inspired by the Nebra Sky Disc 1800 – 1600 BC

It is made of bronze
decorated like a cake
in aquamarine and gold

a crescent greets a sphere
and luminescent baubles
float above the ways

the edge is forked
and crumbly
with a nibble top left

a side sweep of gold
almost meets another
neath the end curve

it is wonderful
a vision of desire
and of eternity
