Some Moment in Time


I feel frozen in time.
I look around and imagine I’m on some sort of space shuttle,
Surrounded by teams of researchers wondering what went wrong;
I’m the one without any oxygen left in the tank.
These murmuring voices tell me everything,
Though none of which I can hear –
I know I’ve only just arrived, but
I think it’s time to go.
Our sun, this one completely normal star,
With its gases and fire, and
Its burning, pressurized core desires release,
Though the outward restraint of laws, and of measurable influences
Will not allow it.
As I step outside, I look up at this Sun and squint my eyes
In response to its brilliance, but
Also, I try to take a closer look
