Shine on
      because of your birth family and surprise
      because of fate over choice
and because of the particular in the face of vastness

shine and spin, in an easy arms-loose dive
      swooping OVER sailing UNDER
      through the needle’s eye (most prepositional phrases apply)
but keep spilling it.

Can one be fearless in the withering light,
in the friction, in the ‘thanks that’s great’ –ified (crap).
they’re supposed to pick it up, touch it,

it’s gilded runoff and unnoticed
      it’s okay, the gold puddles
      it’s okay, the gift is hung away, the beloved filed
it’s okay.
      Okay, it’s not the basis for a lifetime -
still shine

because of surprise in the face of vast-ness.
