The universe is as close as the veins in your neck

The angle seemed askew,an enigmatic grin hangingat the end of the highway,a last orange gasp.

Beethoven on the radio,his silence tangiblebetween the sounds.

We pull a history in unmatched wordsfrom two hemispheresover empty space.

I rememberat least one ancient cellin the body comes from stardust.

We follow the black syntaxof the moon's thoughtsout to drifting stars.

A universe expanding into nothing,we are the space we travel to.
