Description What a burning, broken universe/incalculable, devastating,/things we can't imagine./We attach names familiar to us/Titan, Europa, Calypso/but they are still mighty and immeasurable, terrifying/but don't think of all that./It's too big./It's too sad./
Think of this:/It's sublime and impossible that we even exist/with our
soft flesh and our wet eyes,/our music, our sins,/ our jealous lovers,/our moments of bliss,/ and love/ god, love/more immeasurable/more incalculable/
than the universe,/than whatever it is
that the universe wonders about./Our smallness shouldn't humble us./We are tiny demigods/watching the universe expand/from our lawn chairs/while we eat ripe peaches/with sticky hands and smiling mouths.
