SALVATION

SALVATION

maybe I might
have forgotten myself
at that moment
of chaos and crisis

have forgotten to tell you
you have
become goddess
the most
beautiful thing
in the Universe

divine object of
the adulation of the stars

beloved dream of
all of us
     self included

who
   have known you
loved you
longed for you, wanted you

worshipped you
         from this intimate near

or
    as with me

so deeply
    from afar

that chaos, that crisis
stuff of supernova
of exploding galaxies

put
   to one side

alien to
     the quiet order and
system
and
   death by
intensity

of
which I
for the peace that is
light and
sort of
      respite

       guess I should write
being perhaps
some salvation
