Sonata Pathétique (Standard Candles) Jenna Kober I. Grave -- Shakespearean Sonata Stare up at the starry, starry sky, outside, on any (or every) given night; raise your hand to eye level and you black-out A section of the darkness.

And, too, block-out of your view the twinkling lights; no fewer than ten stars that now explode with the same brightness as ten thousand stars which are unexploded.

Supernovas – phenomenal pyrotechnics The best universe has to offer; a display freely hidden, masked by tips-human.

II. Adagio Cantabile -- Rondeau Prima Materia non est in principio creavit The stuff of matter, is baked naked in kilns. Every atom of your nails, of your fingers -really, in your entire body -- is shaped thusly The elements of universal matter i.e. N, O,Li, & Fe, all, products of such spectacular shows. Materia non est in principio creavit The stuff of matter, is baked naked in kilns.

Materia non est in principio creavit -the stuff of matter, is baked, naked in kilns.

The ceramic nature of your right hand, came, hardened from a separate Supernova than the dust comprising your left hand did -the stuff of matter is exploded in starry endings.

III. Allegro -- Italian Sonata Never forget that you are here because of the kindness, the sacrifice, of stars. Maybe there’s something poetic about stardust lacing the bones of all humanity 67
