This astronomer of sorts
who looks for figurative stars
in the skies of his philosophies

(constellations of meaning,
mythological inferences into the origins and
purposes of man)

(& he knows that she has the eyes of a tiger
and that he cannot ever look away)

Brighter than any bundle of gasses spinning
galaxies away
They tell him a story of creation,
destiny.
(& how his violent ancestors
survived)


Surely they were paired by the
Gods
