the big bang ever
expanding outside ourselves:
as if the suns/moons
whole galaxies cared
or even knew
Ed Higgins
***
ice melts movement starts
inhaled breath expanding lungs
slumber shaken off
successful cryogenics
resurrection realized
***
my membrane mirrors
feed starlight to my engines
till all suns turn dark
I'll sail forever onwards
though my crew lies dead within
***
the will-o-the-wisp -- ahead -- then behind me
