Astronomical Intuition

beauty leads to meaning
I'm up early in pursuit of each

at times barbaric and base
like pulling weeds

flowers exploding in
a retching of light

which I can't stomach, need
the means to approach


then a virus echoes
from the dark

in threes and sevens
an exotic power

rhythms and voices
in all directions

dancing shapes come in waves
sun, clouds, mountains, forest


communal music
dots and lines on the page

not the voice or
even the sound that counts

but the atmosphere above
from the ground up

approach the abyss
and ascend to heaven
