Jupiter's cosmos




 Pull the heavy curtains tight.

Leave only a razor of light

to slice the dust of the room in two.


Exhale a ghost of smoke into that slit.


Watch the turbulence

as it mimics the ancient storms of Jupiter.

Fluid dynamics

written in a grey, ephemeral cursive.


Look at the soap bubble

glistening in the sun.

The iridescent skin

is a map of a gas giant

held in a child’s wand.


Pour the cold cream

into the black heat of the morning cup.

Do not stir.


Watch the white plumes

billow and curl and dive

into the dark.

The same math

that stirs the coffee

drives the Great Red Spot

through the centuries.


It is in the river eddy

tripping over the stone.

It is in the wind

braiding itself behind the mountain peak.


The universe is a Strange Loop.


The patterns of the infinite

are hiding

in the mundane rituals

of a Tuesday afternoon.


We are surrounded

by the fingerprints of the void.


It is absurd.

It is beautiful.

It is all the same thing.
