Above you the cosmos are working on a heavenly act, planets
pulling together past great distances, as far as the length
of a fingernail to your elbow, which seems not far at all.
But to the cells of your body it's the great unexplored wild,
and traversing that distance is a heavenly act on its own.
Tonight Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Mars will
lace together and encircle the neck of night,
and be bright amid the black. Tonight you will
travel the distance of an arm, and back again, and
it will take the second of a heartbeat, the celestial forever.
