Big Cluster

Naked eyes
See flat cakes of light
Beyond that
A kiss
Sacred undertakings

Flowing streams
To be excited again
Voyagers meditating
Reconstituting emotion
One hundred million years

35,000 miles per hour
Other directions
Murmurs of flapping wings
Versions of being
Holding a stranger's hand

Injuries sustained
Not real
Salt protests
Harvesting oceans
Moving mountains of men

Inorganic behaviour
Toasted sugar wash
Lusting capsules
Romantic gestures
Remote zeta tucanae
Twelve hundred generations ago
Beating on skins

Arcs of reliability
Linear convergence
Valid joining of tribes
Or even meeting
Bomb therapy
Lonely flights
Meet math
Passionately
Once and for all
But just once
