Heart of the lotus Labyrinthine mystery Adorns your bosom

This shall be the beginning of the end. The ghosts are putting on dance shoes again. Mothers prepare daughters for unknown joy That for once will outlast daily despair. I’ll go meet you in the familiar street, When dawn is pregnant with light after rain, Without knowing whether you will be there.

Was I indeed lucky To witness your descent? You struck with no warning Like tears from surging joy. An angel’s last message Before her death in flames: Your gift of fresh meaning Already in decay. But what you’ve made in me Can’t simply be unmade. And I desire What brought you here

An asteroid travels in resonance With Jovian orbit around the Sun. Unstable, also invariable, Caressed by nothing but solar gleam.

Dans la vie intérieure, le temps tient lieu d’espace. (In the inner life, time takes the place of space.) Simone Weil, La Pesanteur et la Grâce (Gravity and Grace) Inside [the black hole’s horizon] … [what used to be a spatial coordinate] is the time … The singularity … is not a place in space; it is a moment in time.

What is the root of spring, And the eye of summer, And the harvest of fall, And the heart of winter?
