Light years
It’s a marvellous world, you said,
with those trees, marshes, deserts,
grasses, rivers and oceans and
so forth. And the moon’s all right too
with its more or less
soft-gleaming sheen and motion. Include
besides the wingèd M, voluptuous
Venus, hot-headed Mars, dead-lucky
J and that sour-puss Saturn of course plus
U and N and far-roamer P, in short the whole
solar family complete with its
milky way and then add on all those other
systems with specks and spots and in
that infinite void it’s a commotion of
well you know. It’s a magnificent
universe, you said, just take a good look
through the ready-made glasses of the dark
at a desert for instance or on your back
in oceans of grass, just take a good look
at that rorschach violence, that’s where we’re
standing somewhere, together.
