sleepless and alone, seemingly
the fragments of my friend shine through the window
glowing for the universe to see
breathing in
i step up and out of bed
move towards her, my friend
shining bright, starlike
even when my eyes close
the dim sky illuminates
by her reflection of the sun
up i look
into a vacuum in its vastness
space
silence
peace
nothingness and formlessness
it’s quiet down here
far, far, far
so many fars away…
But i am.
thankful, for if I were any closer
there would be no “i” at all
only space
lots
lots
lots of
(space)
I would be
(space)
but no,
with no i’s to dot
truth is
there’d be space
with no awareness under no moon, no stars
above no mountains, no valleys, no seas
so i will see them while i can
but before I hop into bed
i breathe out
and bring a little
(space)
back with me
then count sheep
