Suspension

The memory of your touch on the earth will remain

As you glide through the Milkyway

Watching the earth circle the sun

You are part of every sunrise

You are part of every sunset

 

You're up there

Between the planets

Dancing on the moon

Inhaling stardust

Exhaling love

Lounging on an asteroid,

Tapping the ash off the tip of your cigarette on the galaxy's edge

Memories in constellations

That you twirl between your fingers

 

Our mission was together

But you decided to leave early

The suspension of your ship caught me off guard

I was too close to the flames

It burned me deeply

But I know the stars were meant for you

 

You're more infinite than you have ever been

Breathing easy; my fellow space cadet

I know you're okay

My wounds will heal

but the scars will remain.

You always loved my space poem, I thought I'd write one for you.

We were going to go to NASA in Houston together. I'm going to have to make that trip for both of us now.

I love you Desma, please don't be gone.
