BUT IT DOES MOVE
The Sun is the one
that seems to circle the Earth
when it’s the other way around.
Took us eons to grasp this fact:
heliocentric/geocentric,
heresies, Inquisitions—
the price that was paid—
auto de fait for Bruno,
house arrest for Galileo,
who lied to save his hide,
but when the sentence was announced
is said to have said, sotto voce.
”…but it does move.”
