Oh sweetest spacegirl
We thought our love to be one for the ages
that the stars themselves beat for us
that the heavens played and the angels sang
for us
The beating heart that is the universe
– time’s accordion –
contracting and expanding its pockets
little Nows in their little trajectories, present everywhere
and one of them once ours for a lifetime
Oh foolish young love
Perhaps these are the final thoughts of a dying starman being torn apart
shredded memories of a lover twisted infinitely thin
into cosmic spaghetti
Do you remember the first time we went for Italian together?
or maybe I’ve already gone beyond that black veil
how to process such a notion?
that you are inaccessible to me and I am lost to you
forever
And I promised you the heavens
Oh foolish starcross’d love
