Hatches burst
last air escapes
Left spinning
without anchor
I'm left spinning
without an anchor
and I'll never see home
Affix my focus
on a star far away
some home to an unknown God
who curls and uncurls in liquid light
embryonic fluid at the center of the universe
another world whose light dies
while I watch it die
and join it in its dying
I don't know what happens after
but I am that corpse God's brother
as I spin and freeze forever
his light inside me
and maybe some of mine in him.
