Banausic … Inky

Today’s word is “banausic” … serving utilitarian purposes only; mechanical; practical. (Dictionary.com)

Inky
The dome was black as night,
As black as space can be,
All banausic, starry formulas,
Faded slowly by degree.

The Milky Way appeared,
And then the vast unending,
Filled with beginnings wonders,
Twirling, twisting, wending.

How, in this universe,
Do we think we know a thing,
When worlds unnumbered spin,
And stars and planets sing?
