an astronaut reflects on love lost

i start to feel gravity
recede
the moon, full,
my sun in this black

melancholy seeps now
in this silent capsule

i look at the lights
all globes of lives,
worlds, loves
blinking upwards

i think of the lights on in
your life, reflecting
on waters far
away
from me

maybe i'll be able to see
you

from the night sky
