Really like all of this J Cosmo, it is a tapestry well woven and unraveled with a flourish of rhyme and reason. Your final line only brings about the completeness of realization. Perhaps we humans are the balance to that cold indifference and therein lies our only real choice? I love the image, it is vibrant and alive, like your poem.

Here you overcame that in a Whitmanesque catalog that compelled attention to some of the worst and best lives we can witness. And you do it with a Jeffers' passion about the indifference of the turning universe. This should depress me, but actually gives me hope that homo sapiens can never destroy what does not depend on them. We may be a natural force after all.
