every lovely thing

if it's all made of stardust
then you're in every lovely thing
the spectral comb of a deep sea jelly
a fruit bat's leathered wing
every thorn that defends the thistle
an oak's growth known in rings
the feeding of the earth in autumn
the resurrection in the spring
when death awards an extra breath
how an infant's finger clings
the arcing bend in the hunter's bow
the dove's final song she sings
how yeast summons both bread and beer
when tires turn to swings
the way that glaciers thaw to lakes
and cheese can pull in strings
the constant of Newtonian law
the curiosity that it brings
from moon rock to crashing wave
I find you in every lovely thing
