Winking old starlight
From there to here
Bouncing off telescope mirrors
Hurling across the universe
Waving at the speed of light
Merely to be perceived
Highlighting suspended motes
Fading spines on shelves
Electromagnetic radiation
Crisping skin through clouds
Eclipsed by moon and earth
Refracted and broken
Never to have mass
Ejected from Bohr’s radius
Through fiber optic cables
At the speed of information
