Worms and Black Holes
by Matthew ZangenThe worms are in exodus,
pressing out of flooded grass: a green gasp
of seasoned prayers
in shade of flung branches:
budding fingers, spread like praise,
sprayed with air
demanded down by saintly cliffs:
monoliths of calm
carved by ancient rains
from sacred clouds:
touchless lovers bathed
by their mirror moon:
witness of the sun:
a flame of patron worship
spiraling in chorus
with a litany of sister stars
chanting around a singular dark core:
the true father, thirsty and unseen,
host to light it cannot reveal,
and out and over around again,
counted billions more families
without testament
explode away still
from a momentous edge,
all to make space
for the worms
to escape their drown of mud
and dry in awe
under their terrific sky.
