I am an astronaut floating farther and farther away
From home.

Am I lonely?
I do not know.
My primal response to survive gets in the way
Of knowing if I am truly alone among the stars.

Am I afraid?
I do not know.
Fear is not known until the tragedy has passed,
And I am still living in that.

The only question I can answer is
"Where am I?"
I do not know,
But I know I am here in this vast universe.
​​​​​​​Alone.
