BALL

BALL

created a swirl
of sound on a synthesizer

a flowing circle
that became Andromeda
became a spiral nebula
a galaxy
vaster than our own

but then, in a goldilocks zone
a ball appeared
energy to matter
completely consolidated

and here
with time this cosmic dance

heard its music, found its
singers, dances learning

how
to express, how to direct

how to name every star before
plucking them each
one by one

by now the song
resounding, orchestral

echoing in every ray
of light found
harvested
