o A streak of embryonic stars?
o A once-was planet’s last hoorahs?
o A cartwheel, stuck within a rut?
o Rough diamonds, not quite made the cut?
o An inter-planet gastric band?
o A jumbled, shifting no-man’s land?
o The Heavens’ heaving hula-hoop?
o An astronomic loop-the-loop?
o An endless sky-borne running track?
o A never-gaining chasing pack?
o Unwanted cosmic articles?
o Nomadic astral particles?
o A vast, revolving promenade?
o A far, fragmented knackers’ yard?
o Conveyor-belt of ancient stones?
o The Solar System’s broken bones?
o A force that ever rearranges,
to ring the skies, and ring the changes?
