Great azure whirling orb,
minutia on this cosmic mobile,
counterbalancing what across the universe?

Indigo nub in the spirograph
of a tireless deity child,
tracing endless spirals through a freezing void.

Turquoise pebble in the twirling slingshot
of an unhurried David,
aimed at the forehead of Orion.

Sapphire ballbearing in a stellar engine
greased with nothingness,
zooming in a hush.

Are you so blue and life-sustaining
because you've been forgotten?
