Lucy - In The Sky - With Diamonds

At the Milky Way no less, a mere
4,000 light years from another
near constellation in the vast
nearness of the ineffable Firmament.
Imagine, a diamond planet, no less.
A spinning, brilliant pulsar of a
planet, pluckily challenging Jupiter,
one of our Solar System's giant
gaseous planets, for sheer mass.

But consider: polar opposites,
one comprised of overheated
insubstantially stolid gas, whereas
the other of high density carbon, a
splendid, sparkling diamond planet,
scintillating, tossing off plumes of
rainbow-refracted light. Lucy
is alertly agog, in hot pursuit of glitter.
