The Lungs

In the space of the lungs, the night sky,
Particles as far away as endings and beginnings,
Forests and rivers without name, and numbered only
By the counting of their use. A single wisp of heaven to induce
the next movement, the inchoate sound, all the homely
stars, and the hallowed dark that is our matter’s underpinnings.
Simply say the word, and fly.
