O Jupiter

Oh love, come
The light is done
The night’s uncovered its diamonds
Climb the spiral staircase higher
Call the old gods to come and hold us
Oh Jupiter, your moons and her
Half-faded out of sight, of sight and sound
Oh Jupiter, your room of worlds
We fold the light into, into the night
Oh love, see the filigree
As our eyes conceive of Ganymede
Cast our dice into the silence
Of Io’s lair and fall into the air
Of Jupiter, your moons and her
How fine a thread across the firmaments
Oh Jupiter, your loom of pearl
We lure th light into our line of sight
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh Jupiter, your moons and her
A singl line, a hand, a hand in mine
Oh Jupiter, so soon the spur
What comes from this?
The bliss, the bliss, the bliss?
