What stunning cosmic gift
wrapped in star-spangled night
for my short-sighted eyes
catalogued as M13
more splendidly known
Great Hercules Cluster
faint, visible, blurry speck
24,000 light years far
across intergalactic space
globular star cluster
aged 10 billion years
in its space/time evolution
sacred viewing privilege
into the endless immense
for this earthly denizen.
