words

Life in glass repose
Patiently waiting for the break
Shattering this plane of transparent vulnerability

Reduced to pieces
Tempered intimacy broken and sharp
An earthbound cluster of light reflections
Expiring stars peacefully streaming
Piercingly dividing the old form from the new

Swept up and discarded
This galaxy returns to raw materials
The frame, empty, free and open
Accepting the passage of light and sound
Thermal currents
Welcoming the cosmic dust
Brought in with the wind
