a hungry calf laps up the milk  
that Hera spilled across the dark  
as centaurs frolic with their ilk  
Orion following his mark

our minds will play connect the dots  
to cover distances so vast  
that light is bound to change its spots  
and when it does arrive at last

its source may not be lit at all  
a glowing ember into ash  
or by its starry protocol  
exploded, burned up in a flash

when searching for a way to beat  
the limits posed by dark and light  
get on your porch and take a seat  
and look up at the sky at night
