Image for the poem In Front of Us

In Front of Us

Melding metal 400000

Putting a bearing on smooth rails

Precision sailing through Panama Canal

Brush the mirror into completion

Possessive in me 200 inch disk

5 tons of glass 2 millionths of an inch perfection

Pause before barbarity task of polishing

Job is done on Mount Palomar telescoping me

Saw the life and death of stars I’m one of them

Capabilities within you it amazes me

Hubb has seen 12 billion light years in front of us
