freefall, starfall

 

 

starfall, freefall

(our first utterance in the voice between)


i saw my reflection in the window 

and mistook it for someone coming home

 

(i stood still                              to arrive)

the stars blinked or maybe i did

someone said the cosmos expands 

because it’s running out of ways

                 to hold itself together

 

                                in the back 

              of my throat

tonight i don’t want an answer just 

                   company between questions
