earth will die in just a moment
crushing, killing us like fleas
listen, watch, and try to own it
ice melts on our hands and knees
pretty winds and rising seas
storms will whip around in psalm, when
everything is gone

Eclipses, From Afar
E verything above us in the universe is so vast, so wide, so entirely massive, and we will never see it. C ry as we may, it’s the truth—we as people will never be able to truly see the world, to understand its layers, its workings, the life beyond us—to know how complex it all really is.
