a hummingbird’s wings can move
up to 200 times in one second
in every desert and beach in the world,
there are seven quintillion, five hundred quadrillion grains of sand
our universe is likely to contain
more than 100 billion galaxies,
each of those galaxies is likely to contain
more than 100 billion stars
now, i’m not religious,
but i think the utter grandeur of these figures
were plucked from the universe
by a hand so clearly divine
and then dropped somewhere between
the curve of your lip
and the small of your back
i think this higher power
somehow garnered anything that would leave
the rest of us awestruck
and embedded them in your being,
carefully lacing your dna
strand by strand
now, i’m not religious,
but god **** do i really stop
and wonder why i’m not
when i look at you
