The Elysium Limbo

Now Apollo's sky by Luna is gilt
with a surplus of actinic tribute.
That's how Urania's temples are built
to please that muse of galactic repute.
 
Only like beams have the requisite span
for architecture of aethereal rank.
Someday mortals may be in on the plan
but we will have to think more like Max Planck!
 
Meanwhile, certain terrestrial apes
will jot down their uncaged thoughts of the night
about how well the vault of heaven drapes
when the full Wolf Moon makes the night so bright,
 
     next to where the Dogstar and Orion plods...
     tread they heaven...or the graveyard of the gods!
