BRIGHT STAR

For Ben-O, a new grandson

Tonight a full moon

in an azure sphere of mist

sails by, while you, bright star,

serene and solid in the orbit

of your father's arm, touch,

grasp my thick finger, tilt

blue inquiring eyes. Son

of my son whose tiny movements

teach: why worlds cohere,

how fusion outruns speech.
