When my place in the firmament
Becomes permanent
I cannot help but wonder
What others will have to say
...
As a child
Certain skies would brighten me
Ransacking the most remote back-alleys
Of my imagination.
...
The hours and minutes
Of our minuscule existence
Are like a road map unto death
Estimated time of arrival
...
Open you up
Read you over
Carry you with me
Everywhere I go
...
