Fixed Stars and moving comets make no apologies

planets follow these larger truths
easily illumined by the piety of stars
carried on the stillness of impartial night

there is no punishment for cooperating
with administrations from on high
as they preside unawares that you seek their counsel

comets have to mean much more
ideally positioned to risk discordance
warning you about what you've attracted from within

obsession with various illnesses
and failed efforts contribute to the wars
you survive as a convenient vessel for guilt and anger

rigorous transits leave their scars
a man suffers from the passages of light
there are people in the Vatican who covet these Saints

we should celebrate them
as we watch their retrograde movements
against the flash of Celestial fires flowering into sudden infinity
