Redshift

Redshift

My universe on a rolodex,
scattered thoughts in orbit
pulling me in.

In an ocean without a shore
I worship the sky,
my defeat.

Find me a place in the endlessness.
My cold water, your harmony
orders stars to freeze.

Dusk will settle and fade this world,
and in this strange light
these abstract ripples become tolerable.

Lingering on a shadow cast from afar,
tracings above that mark the solstice,
mesmerised, tides will weaken.

It wishes for the stars to explode,
and it wishes for the ocean to rise.
To tell it all, to start again.
