Let stars reverse their courses — hallelujah —
Let planets flaunt their necklaces of ice –
Let suns confound eclipses – hallelujah –
Let moons’ scavenged radiance rejoice—

Let galaxies recluster – hallelujah –
Let nebulae uncloud and celebrate –
Let meteors spread banners – hallelujah –
Let black holes unleash astonished light—

Let comets jump their orbits—hallelujah—
To jangle inadvertent atmospheres
With rumors of the distance –hallelujah—
Anecdotes—songs—suspicions—prayers
