Here is how to be
still and move at the speed of light,
both unmoving centre and orbiting edge,
pulled home and accelerating away,
revealing as it withdraws
the simplest image,
trustworthy in the two strokes
it takes to give everything up
and accept this presence.

Greater, greater, greater
sings the gyrating edge
dancing its recurrent devotion
that nevertheless moves forward
...

All the while, from the centre,
vast, holy silence.
