amore

a truism to be sure but the
more we know et cetera
per Galileo Leavitt Hubble Payne-Gaposchkin and superseding
luminaries
the swarm of them, the more

we don’t know
about the love that binds unbinds us
or why we’re weird and
terrifying ourselves
with the extinguishing

by the humble of the good
high net worth bacteria that rule suspicious worlds
that brink disaster with disorder
to go about their
lives

we sing indigenous
fusion lines the rapid static stretched in just
just picoseconds quantum bubbles explodentiated
and here came
everything

you’d think enough would always be
enough but nothing’s in it nothing
prepares the surprises like the
great mind
that isn’t there

and so we celebrate
whowhereever we are
the plenary of zeroes
the plenitude
of what’s left over in the dark

a crumbling
crumb a
morsel
future
spark
