Andromeda
I AM
one of the swirling celestial bodies
trailing beyond a galaxy’s realm so luminous...
and Jupiter’s neon threads spin , while Orion
and meteors glide along planetary zones
with glazed fingers of light,
floating on colored frames. Somehow,
I am many when my stars parade,
aligning with earth, bursting from each equinox.
And my outer spirit reels into a lunar dance;
every axis heightening flamed energy
while humans throb in their own center...
a metallic twirl, a rhymed tap
entering into a MULTIVERSE, chaste as
the blending circles of moon, dust, sun...
and mankind tries to understand
this wonder of this fluid spectacle---
halo of my Andromeda crown...till
a voice from Genesis echoes,
' Now the whole world has one language.'

were nebulae outside the Milky Way. One of
them was known as the Andromeda
