my stomach would knot
and she did not stop
when she would leave a hundred craters in my head.
It came all at once and stopped just the same
It was so fast and unexpecting and
it was immense and terrifying and exciting

and then gone

there were no warnings
On either side.
I cannot comprehend what this is
Or why it has ripped me apart

But she was broken, too.

I have never been to space
Or seen a meteor shower
Every time I had planned to finally catch one
I had always gotten outside just
a second too late
Meteor showers are bright and terrifying and exciting
and quite intense if you are too close
they are quick

And they are gone.
And meteors hit the moon's atmosphere

they become broken, too

While they leave a hundred craters in the moon
