we are but comets
Sep 23, 2023
we surround ourselves
in — comas of ancient dust
nuzzled in time — here
migrating towards
an endless sea — to slowly
dissolve — and reform
trails — dust and ion
enlighten, lead, and follow
in this existence
we are but these small
nuclei formed from old stars
ephemeral cores
sometimes together
for brief moments — but a blink
yet it’s forever
etched in this cosmos
drawn by — to — the wells of stars
we are but comets
