It’s the second day this magic’s working:
worsening headache while harsh voices
bring eldritch feelings of my just being a
quiet observer on the outside seeking to
leave all feeling behind; reading the sun
forms part of a binary star system - thus
precession means our sun with the earth
is moving against a fixed background of
far-off stars - suddenly the whirlwind
In my mind’s becalmed, as long as I watch
the screen pain’s gone & in the eye of the
storm there is peace in the lovely detailed
theory - I’m enraptured in the escapism of
scientific claims “Our Earth and the Moon
travel 360 degrees around the Sun - yet
move in unequal lines relative to the far-
off immutable stars: so the solar system
moves in curved elliptical patterns”
A picture as astounding as beautiful keeps
my mind in momentary suspension so pain
doesn’t intervene - I don’t know where this
glorious feeling comes from or what it could
mean - but for now I’m held in the beauty of
all these new interpretations of space…
