Sailing
dark-lit seas
measuring infinity’s length
traversing star held territory;
explorer
velvet
Claustrophobia;
wrapped up in velvet darkness
bright stars blinking past
universe
sharp solar light flares
slants between blue, wooded worlds;
distant universe
stars
the wideness of stars
agoraphobia chokes
no central anchor
transient
no
refuge;
transient
world – keep moving
