jupiter

i think of myself as a man of logic
further: science
and looking for a reasonable explanation
always empirical evidence sometimes
numbers

when she asked what is the sky i said
the view upward from the surface of the earth
she wasn’t satisfied

so i
dug deeper into the celestial sphere
and felt concentric to her?

silly me
i didn’t know: she was somewhere
between the third
and fourth platonic solid

and built a house there
with a gardenwith a bench
with a red metal mailbox
jupiter and saturn appear at the same point
every 20 years

and i observed it with profound confusion
as her hair softens in the canary morning
i shall wake up and wake up again
