Elemental, momumental -
Pear drops from the big-bang sweet shop
Gravity's demonstrators:
Gigantic, titanic, galactic, dynamic
They watch a small earth through fireproof telescopes.
Flung, as icing sugar in a cavernous cupboard
They are the batteries powering this huge charade
Piercing map-makers of fluorescent ink,
Spaceship docks hewn of molten rocks.
Cat's eyes for the great bear's nightly wanderings.
Dayblind, sun-outshined, mediaeval sailor-kind
Rising, setting, breathing, dying
Glowing plankton in the whale of a sky.
Cosmological lampposts!
Show us the way - grab our attention upwards where it belongs.
