Astronomy, and
Poetry choose denim: his
jeans; her long-hemmed skirt.
Shoeless, their footsteps glide through
regions and regions of stars.
Earthen customs fail:
Astronomy, barefoot, walks
among the stars; and
Poetry, wearing socks she
knows he likes, walks beside him.
Hand in hand they move
across the most delicate
dimensions of space,
to the site called Main Sequence---
their joyous, ardent kisses.
