Three Views of the Universe

(rewrite of a poem posted a few years back) 


My mid-morning kitchen;

the clouds have opened;

a billion motes are dawdling

in a slant sunlight.

 

Afternoon, on a park bench;

a pool of sunlight before me;

inside, a cosmos of flies

demonstrate Brownian motion.


It's midnight; I stop to watch

moths in a lamp-light,

they are meteorites streaking

from invisibility to invisibility.
