a comet
blazing a
fiery line
through
the irradiated
void between
pulsating stars
reflected
off of the shell
of the turtle
calmly swimming
across the
cosmos

ancient
unblinking eyes
a silent
steadfast
wisdom in
accepting
the universe
in its totality
as it moves
with an unfathomable
purpose toward
the seething heart
of creation

i spin
without motion
a stray thought
in necrosis
navigating
nightmares
in starlit desolation
