Andromeda Dancing

Andromeda Dancing

We look and see a blur
within the sky at night
how far she whirls from us

but if we have the aid
of Hubble’s telescope
it will reveal a trillion stars

like grains of sand that swell
an earthly beach or riverbank
though many light years past

this galaxy and ours will meet
ten billion years from now
when man and sun are gone

she and the Milky Way
sent swirling through infinity
un pas de deux immensité.
