I am sitting on a park bench,
a pool of sunlight
before me,
a cosmos of flies
are stars in Brownian motion.
A city park after midnight.
I am arrested by moths in lamp-light,
their sudden brilliance, meteorites
streaking from invisibility to invisibility.
A stream in afternoon sunlight,
the innumerable scintillations,
pulsing.
Again I see the universe;
and, like beauty, it has no scale.
