Missing

Through the infinite indigo
floating amongst stardust,
our carbon cruising constellations
into the black of forever
and again back into the light,
lost in this lautitious lagoon
together, billions of miles apart.
I’ll miss you when we’re gone
The warmth of your everything
isn’t allowed for long enough
Can’t we just pause time and
forget tomorrows are finite
Can’t we just hold each other
so tightly that our limbs, muscles and meat
form into an impenetrable molecule–
that no fault of space
no fracture of time
can break us apart?
I miss you already a thousand times over
and I miss all I’ve ever known
the first moment I saw you
the first moment I held you

I miss these moments
and I’ll miss them more
as I undulate unwittingly onward
towards the end of my timeline,
escaping to the elements of flesh,
alone, off into that eternal sea.
