remember
being stardust
and cursed the day
we forced them
to the Earth
we bound ourselves
down to our
own destruction
our cells
remember
the dawn of time
the crawling
ooze
the spark
when life met
life
and exploded
into a thousand little
peering eyes
blinking
at a burning orb
shifting
skyward
the atmosphere
shimmering
to the West
the dark
galloping closer
to the East
and the North Star
still unmoved
tens of thousands
of a hundred thousand
years
and the light will touch us
long after that star is dead
and we pass our cells
down
through time
split
divide
die
reborn
we may have lost
the way upward
but our cells remember
the stars
and stretch across
the expanding universe
like dark planets
looking for
home
