Starred

I float gently above the blue-faced giant I call home. 
Paper thick suit and a lifeline I've never left. 
All my air pulls to me and I look away. 
I see them glisten across the vacuum. 
A wash of sunsets without horizons. 
The shine in a lovers smile. 
Eternal pinprick glints of eternity. 

I hear their beck and call. 
My stomach cools and sticks to my spine. 
A tear rips my face and I wonder. 
A tremor shifts my fingers. 
My grip convulses, yearns. 
My belly wretches a yell from my lips. 
My gloves run to mask and lift. 

The bright stars glean my words. 
Silence as I watch the breath leave my lungs. 
Frozen specks I no longer need dangling. 
Silly imitations of life. 
No spirit in those drops. 
No feeling in my body. 
Only laughter in my soul.
