Great constellations

On winter solstice 2020
One core constellation 
Jupiter and Saturn
two  phantom planets
encountered visually by
the earthlings vividly
in 1226 during 
the Albigensian Crusade
in 2020 through 
the Covid-19 plaque

from the Middle Ages
to the Space time of now
it makes me think thus
everything in between
a little girl of 5 
taken by her mom
at noon watching
her first solar eclipse
through a piece of glass
smoked grayish black
-
that's why today I applaud
that I can see this 
and make the connection
to a house somewhere 
in Occitania -that this
middle-aged village 
contains stones upon stones
and  this house was begun
around that time

so the starry combination
of two great Ancient gods
is a cool culmination 
what makes me happy
knowing that we share
all people everywhere
fates of humanity -
and humbly we should
embrace our smallness
amid a second of 
Gaia's part of the universe
