Angles Morts

inconceivable space between stars

inconceivable space between stars
projected on bowls 
on dew
on leaves 
on leaving so -
far focus those
in rods and cones 
the kneeling heights
in skulls in bones
a mystic told
that magpie raps
and trades with bark
where distant lovers 
fear the spark

the calling dark

  1. and i wonder that if you are able to conceive it, you think, this space between the stars, that this is perhaps a failure of the imagination? it sounds unusual, yes, and certainly it is anti-intuitive - against intuition - surprising that it could be a limitation of the imagination that prevents conception. but it is not just that there is a lot of space between those stars it is that that every space of space in that space between those stars is an infinity and - no - no, and not just infinity it is an infinity of infinities collapsing forever into yet more infinity collapsing unfolding unrelenting uncountable and you see vastness simply doesn't cover it, and how is it that i can t ta tap this key when the space between my finger and the key is so unthinkably illimitable - no, it is only by actively not conceiving it that it becomes possible that we do not live in madness paralysed by the metaphysical weight of this, this, this, and to consider the beauty and the music of this space between the stars is just this little hint of everything that keeps us grounded against, well, our grounding
