I See The Stars (a poem)

A cataclysmic crack in the universe
Has changed me for all time
Of course it is true
We all start anew
But the cacophonous ripping
Of this universe slipping
Makes my aching heart beat doubly fast
Like falling off a cliff
Like being lost at sea
I don't know what's in store
For me

A wilted flower
A slight of hand
A kiss, a glance
Contraband
I can't be sure it's all veritable
Pinch myself to be sure I'm still here
The waves are ebbing
Into time's slick webbing
And there is no going back

[Written in the notepad on my phone sometime in 2017]
