Lost in the Cosmos
the night constellation sky
is an infinity echo
of despair
the dream
of nuzzling a loved one
is cracked
the conversation
when we get to confide
never happens
warm gauze of calm
is frozen dead over
a guy leaves
on some fine pursuit,
never looks back at family left behind
death lurks around streetlamp
city corners
walking the chill urban street,
feelings inside a
hot summer
imagine the orbits
of a dreamer’s eyes,
his gem-green irises
search-lighting a lost other
