we are small
particles, atomies
and dust tucked away
in the back pockets
of the universe --
--we still exist
in seconds
in flashes across the sky
in sparks and matches
in drops of ink on paper
in love and touch
in movement and breath
and even in the dark
the stars remember
us.

we are small
particles, atomies
and dust tucked away
in the back pockets
of the universe --
--we still exist
in seconds
in flashes across the sky
in sparks and matches
in drops of ink on paper
in love and touch
in movement and breath
and even in the dark
the stars remember
us.
