The sky is wide
The stars are new
Aglow
Ablaze
Set sail on an ocean of night
The wind is slow
Whispering low of Apollo’s retreat
A sigh, a swell
A murmur
The moons all dance
They rise and fall
And wax
And wane
Heralds of Diana’s reign
And I am here
Wandering under diaphanous rays
I watch
While I remember
The void is white
The time is deep
Reflects
Repeats
Recursive vibrations of strings
And I see here
Pleiades winding the Möbius wheel
A twist, a turn
Unending
The starpool spins
It loops and lists
And flows
And ebbs
Rotating red-shifted rings
And you are here
Slowly revealing the span of all things
I wait
I see the center
The sky is wide
The stars are new
Aglow
Ablaze
Set sail on an ocean of night
The wind is slow
Whispering low of Apollo’s retreat
A sigh, a swell
A murmur
The moons all dance
They rise and fall
And wax
And wane
Heralds of Diana’s reign
And I am here
Wandering under diaphanous rays
I watch
While I remember
