‘This Is It’ by James C. Frank

    
    
3 planets align: where? you
don’t know yet. Just point
at what you might think
is Venus. Go
on, you were curious already
and he is more in tune with
you than you will believe.

A suburban sky, cloudless,
is pretty much as perfect
for this than one could hope for.
Do it. Prophesy
is too dumb a word, but let me
tell ya “this is it.”  Yeah: you
are doing it. Here,

taste my sunspot: this star
shot its last load of light
a billion years ago in both
of your eyes at this same time
and he is that many more
light years full of what you
half-believe. 

There is no denying it. 
I am the cosmos speaking.
