I know the pupil of the eye dilates …
I know the pupil of the eye dilates
according to the loss of ambient glow;
the pupil, properly an empty space,
a framing of the window of the soul,
may also register astonishment;
as my own must have done, I realise,
to read on Wikipedia (to my shame)
of something new, which Every Boy Should Know,
concerning the humanity of eyes
that sexual arousal does the same:
To waken in the night and face to face
stare right into the maw of twin Black Holes
is tantamount to angering The Fates,
to risk collapse of this dark firmament.
