starmate

where does one go

when home

is a thousand years away?

as i saw you

there then

i’m looking for you

here now

one moon to the next

one orion to the other

should i

go on chipping at the Clock

that It might

break and i’ll outrun

the Cycle?

should i

wade back out

swim against the waves

that i might

catch sight of your shore

and reach land once more?

where

does one go?

a soul old as star

searching for one

he met several lifetimes ago
