Didn’t you know?
You are made of cosmic dust, held together by gravity
You are the stars, the planets, a galaxy
You are a tidal wave, an earthquake, a volcano, a wildfire
As far as the eye can see,
There is your magic, your mystery
A supernova of rage and lust and gratuity
Didn’t you know?
You’re vaster than the sea
