I gaze
into space
this empty space
inside where you
no longer are.
Stars twinkle simple
as a nursery rhyme
planets revolve
maintain their perfectly
elliptical courses.
I am eclipsed.
An ellipses...
without your words
your kiss.
The night sky
plucks a star
pins it
on my chest
a medal
for making it this far
beyond grief
beyond hope
for remembering not to
forget to...
remember.
The Heavens
in all their glory
bless me
curse me
with words
to spell out
your absence
your presence
the only thing
that would
make sense of
all this
useless beauty.
