Cosmos

A whisper through the night
chaos in the day

A handful of sober thoughts
crumpled like paper boats in the flame

A beating heart
coping with attacks of the cold

A small smile that can light up the town
farflung in places like wildfire

A little more of the million miles spent
hovering like pieces of dandelion spores

Strings sewn in the dark
planting needles through fields of gravity

Her hands shake like the winter winds
rattle bones of trees
she sits quiet wondering

Wondering, and waiting still,
whether the dreams of them turning into reality would ever come to be

Her cosmos shattering like pine needles falling
the tarpaulin folks who sail the southern oceans of the universe

She holds tight, her heartbeats
waiting for the miracle of bringing him back from sleep.
