The sparkle in your eyes
is the shadowy sky
that flames from
dark blue to easy orange hues,
the stars that burn
with diamond points
powerfully pushing out,
the space that turns,
your galaxies spiraling
into short stories
and our lives
into even tinier
minuets
that we can dance to.

Till, our bodies do
what they were always
going to have to do.
Stardust sparkles and crumbles
while eternity devours
the basic building blocks of life.
Black holes bend, pull, and swallow
the speeding light

and we hope we may
we hope me might
find our way back in to life.
We dream that our soft bodies
will seed, bleed, and blend into
oncoming generations,
making us immortal as we can be.
