On Jupiter's day,
the day before I disappear
into the cracks of Odin's riddle,
I hitchhike
on a passing comet
for one more tour
of the old neighborhood.
On the way to
Uranus
I grab a ring off
Saturn,
choke up when I see
Venus
clamp a mourning band around
her missing arm.
Gliding
close to Mars
I see
waves of dancing light
where phantom rivers were.
I hear
throbs and spits
and coos and pings
that shake my hollow frame
with wonder.
I see sparks fly.
I sense blips
of quantum energy
in the vaulting act of autogenesis:
creating something out of nothing
in the universal scheme
of give
and take,
dazzling sights
and celebrant sounds
that blow my mind away,
begging
unthinkable answers
to questions
no one taught me how to ask.
An organ sting startles me.
My orphan annie eyes
watch a dogged out vapor trail
curl languidly
around an asteroid,
chase its nose
into the sun's corona.
The crash I hear,
as I wash out on the tide
of timeless time,
is neither Alpha's
bang
nor the whimper
of Omega,
nor in fact a crash at all,
but a kind of breathless hwoo.
Call it
a cosmic sigh.

the cosmic syzygy. . .
the oomph of omniscience. . .
you vorpal blade of heaven. . .. .
how you weave these heavenly bodies...in and out...voer and over. . .
such a big bang indeed.
