Ascend Dark Matter
feeling the motion of the earth
the bright pearls of the comet exploding
her body pulled apart into
clusters of fire
drifting too near Jupiter
all this being spun running nowhere
through the emptiness of space
always to rise, soar, falter, fall, disappear
[shoemaker-levy 9: This is the comet which orbited, fragmented, and finally crahsed into Juptier in 1995...the disruption of a comet into multiple fragments is an unsual event, the capture of a comet into an orbit about a planet is even more unusal, and the collison of a large comet with a planet is an extraordinary, millennial event.]
feeling the movement of the earth
[beneath his feet]
the bright pearls of the comet exploding.
[in his mind]
always to rise, soar, falter, fall disappear
"God is himself the Dark Matter,
Swallows them up"
[the dark matter of the universe]
thorns upon his brow
horns adorn his crown
spines ascend his back
let your jaw retract and wallow
[such is the blackhole of the human soul]
