Stars by Rachael
An astronomer
At the aperture
Swims the abyss
Sees only stars
Knows naught
Knows not
The scientist
[Physicist or biologist]
With his eye trained
[With [his] trained eye]
On the oculus
Only observes
The atom’s auspice
Proton’s process
Nascence of neutrons
And enigmatic
orbits of electrons
In[/on] an invisible
roulette
Seduced by
dark matter’s
faint rouge
Quanta’s collisions
and cohesions
Are contained
And catalyzed
Within
Amidst
And by
The hard-boiled
vacuum’s
thick [with] noir
Swims the abyss
Sees only stars
Seduced by
The scientist
The hard-boiled
thick [with] noir
An astronomer
At the aperture
And enigmatic
and cohesions
Are contained
And catalyzed
Amidst
And by
roulette
