Dionysian without being reckless
Exquisite without having to be a corpse
Wild without being terrifying
Enormous without being oppressive
Luminous without being obvious
Wise without being patronising
Loving without being nostalgic
Angry without being violent
Beautiful without being pretty
Perfect without being self conscious
We can sense
something
both intimate & cosmic
in the galilean moons
in their silver rings of orbit.
Cosmic
because we know
how far away
they are
& how ancient.
Intimate
because those
delicate points of light
now shine within
our own body.
A direct
connection between
the infinite
& the small:
the night’s lights
& the body’s darkness
are both
secretly transparent
to one another.
Our task
is to
recognise this.
Our task
is to
recognise our chains
of space & time
but not to
serve them
or struggle against
them
but to see them
clearly.
Like the orbits
of distant
tiny moons.
