      Star-clustered heart
   	limbs in spiral dance
	baryon eye
	proton brain
	gravity touch
	purling through the expanding
	universe of humanity

	tachyon thought
	black-hole mouth
	vacuum breath
	dark-matter soul
	wary interactions
	with others like me

	hydrogen laughter
	starburst tears
	radiation love
	supernova death
        elliptical
                spiral
                      irregular
                               diffuse
	attraction and repulsion
	the only constants
	as we move through
	intergalactic
	interhuman
	space.
