this evening we shall see stars
and Copernicus and the Spheres and all orbits and circles
and the frozen sun
beneath the black veil of heaven
that we shall learn -- stars, this evening
which when we reach with eyes of wonder
to escape our globe
shall then bind up our hearts
whose memory shall be a weight upon me
an echo of its dawn beyond the great chain of galaxies
until there is one light and one discovery
and one voice
only it and thus the weight
the full moon
2012
