Telescopic Touching

A remembrance from a night in university at the observatory

Saturn’s spectrum snatched by glass
Thrown gently to my eye,
In telescopic touching
Makes mundane attachments gone
In black between-us space.
Your rebounded sunlight thrills,
As a lover’s presence
Outshines his pictured sight.
Then suddenly too I vanish,
To know our joining
Makes me and all the it’s
Into tiny insubstantial bits.
