"There is astronomy in our bodies"

Swirling

There is nothing simple to find in the world
Except that we're lost in it
There is astronomy in our bodies
Discoveries displacing one another
Like rain into rivers
The dizzy dance of revolution
Blood recycled in us
And a billion synapses firing into oblivion
Spilling out of us in swirling expressions
Themselves galaxies circling boundless mysteries
With humility, dissect it
And see its guts splayed
Starlight splattered
Cosmos dripping off the sterile edge of our sharpened minds
We collide into ourselves
Dust reassembled into the shape of the firmament
The linear path feeds on itself
And reaches the end
Right where it began
