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?
