reflection
January 5, 2020sinking deeper and deeper
into the black silence;
counting the stars -
milestones of loss,
constellations of mourning;
never-ending fall -
mysterious gravity
of a dying planet
burning somewhere
on the edge of the galaxy of pain…
i close my eyes and imagine
my true face in the soul’s mirror:
i see a gentle animal,
voiceless,
resigned to its fate.
