Laced in petrichor, the hymn of
starlight catches me.
In the violet stem of long-dead
nebulae I
wait, dumbfounded by the
walk, tight-roped
and undone. Delighted
by the possibility, I follow the
far-off lantern—its calling
flickers.
Do I pick up the pace or slow
down? Draped in the fear
of a finale fading,
I press on. There, on the dock of
infinity, water whispers
to me, "We're all gonna get
there someday."
