Stardust
—on a celestial photo
look to the spiral arc of stars
of which the nearest star and you are part
and see your milky way
and climb your finite climb
and run your finite run
and whirl and turn and wind
while they spin their finite spin
and glow their finite glow
and give you finite light
to tell you what they know
of the stuff you’re of and in,
both brief and infinite
