Lines connected my molecules
And the stars. They talked to each other. The stars in groups of constellations Became the fathers and the mothers Of my mitochondria. There are stars that are so far We’ll never see their light. They smear into feldspar. They break down and we break down. I was doing fine until I looked And noticed that my skeleton Was gone, my brain was cooked, Give me the Pleaides smeared on A slice of black sky. I am Who I am, I am who I am in light Of the infinite, I’m the diagram That’s all that’s left when I behold A rocket ship in the sky. It takes Time, but I want to be a part Of the whole (there are still mistakes).
