sometimes I like to think of the stars
how i spent all my life wishing
one star to the next
wander the landscapes of the world
thinking the stars are looking down
keeping track of my growth
then i grew up
learned that our human form is in fact
formed from stars over the years
stardust
a result of atoms and dna
formed precisely to hold me
my own tomb
my veins bleed constellations
and shine in all the right places
