The distance between God’s left and right hand

is a billion light years of yearning, grief,

and a solitary moment of love.


Burn down the firmaments that adorn the west.

Bury in ashes the sun of the east.


He, who travels a million light years

can become the moth that burns the flame

but damned is he, who could tell

between love and a sleight of hand.
