above, around
within your head
no less than hair and bone
stars

perceive, receive
your own extent

never too far
that which is self contained

at night
stars and eye gather together
the immensities of space
in a single instant equation
defying distance, mark and measurement
always the space
is quite maintained

to receive, to perceive
your own content

galaxies
circle, surround
penetrate your veins
no less than blood nor light
