illness
Countless
Countless minute suns
make up the galaxy that is a human body
and if the pattern goes awry
the center doesn't hold;
pattern and direction
turn at odds against design.
So shall we teach those suns to sing
again in measured harmony,
creating force of voices
sounding with a common goal?
Sing the blood, the flesh, the bones,
the very soul, to traverse their appointed paths
united in direction toward
realization of the will.
