Human was a complex mist
slashed in half by contrast
one side smoke
the other fog
When their eyes flashed
lightning birthed
or
turned pale
and warm
Human was a symphony
of endless voices
each a different word
each a different dream
Human sat atop
a wet green rock
and thought about
skipping stones in the dark
"Wow"
Human screamed
ripples through
the vast and black
Solar winds catch
Human and their mist
chasing the first
space stones skipped
Yet, where the ripple goes
Human died in its throes
the pond would have stretched
further than Human guessed
Somewhere a galactic bell
struck by shockwave ripple
What creature cast an
errant wave through space?
Some creature's curious quest
on the scent of consequence
Might find Human's body
in space, at rest
Human and their wet green rock
found asleep in the stars
They dove into the pool
can they hold their breath?
