Late at night your promises echo just like
dopplered pluckings on hydrogen filaments,
ranging in tone from Kaus Australis to
ecliptical Aries; analogous to
the naked-eyed magnitude of your spiral
fingers holding mine with densité stellaire
in what was perhaps love’s perfect learning curve:
Following close Arcturus’ arc and moving  
down on Spica, against the parallax blurred
brocade that marked your vector-strained homecomings.
One too many sydonic revelations
through a single revolution inside your
cosmic webs,  your accretion hums invading
me and discarding me in tight conjunction,
piercing dark spots across a chromospheric
un-stasis that nothing but your touch can heal.
"I remember when I was a baby
staring in amazement at the sun.
Better shield your eyes now little baby
no one ever said you were the one
who can't be blinded by the sun...
..I think I'm blinded by the sun."

From Primus' Antipop Track 6 "Eclectic Electric" (Interscope, Prawn Song. 1999)

It's wonderful how you can pull together so seemingly effortlessly something as distant as the stars and something as intimate as love.
I spy Primus on the description. Nice.
