Solstice 2020 - Jan Corbett

Solstice 2020

Two days before Solstice 2020
But the light is already lengthening.

We humans cannot measure the complexity of the
trigonometry, mystery, poetry of
axis angles, rotation sequence and power of Sun’s rays
as we hurtle through space over centuries.

Our miniscule errors in time have exponentially
 turned into days, 
to say the least.

Solstice is already here,
warming quarantined souls 
and outside escapees,
reassuring us of the coming spring .
pulling dark bulbed life up through
live, moist earth.

It is already here.

Did you not feel the lingering light last night
under rising Jupiter and her sisters?

How could we dark little beings pinpoint such galactic chemistry?
