that day: For Annie, of course

That day

When it is

Understood

If the labors of cosmologists

Have proven to be

Futile

If the sky has

No meaning beyond

Itself

I will love you

Not defiantly

Not in spite

Because

I do

If the stars prove to be

Mere chandeliers

And the universe is then

Plural


It matters little

I will love you

As carbon

As stardust

As light


If

It is shown

That the Clockmaker

Abdicated

If then and there

The moral compass

Is obliterated

I will love you

As a breath

As a soft night

As the corpuscle that

Sings

In you heart

As that which

You always knew

I will love you
