Human Affairs and the Universe

Which is the background,
What constitutes the foreground ?
Is it the grand scale of far ancient light
From the dying star's supernova
Following the shortest paths
Around the Universe in elegance
Some ending in its eyes, provoking them,
Or the twitchings in our conversations
Powering our twenty-four hour days,
A few delivering shocks to the core,
As opposed to the ecstatic brain,
Most keeping us busy with sanity ?

PS : the supernova referred to was Refsdal

For N / That first time

lovely young creature there she was
in his sure arms
her coy face hid in the nook
of his shoulders

snug and together there they were
that first time
in between desire and affection
their bodies aligned

time romanced away in comfort's touch
they with each other
until radiant there she climaxed
in blessed joyful laughter
