I’m Afraid of Stars

Am I in a capsule?

Is time a round thing? 

I stare into the unwillingness of the wind and wonder

Are the stars as bright when you go to space?

I watch spiral oceans bleed into themselves 

Here I am bound to the endless thoughts that tie us together

What if I can’t undo the knot? 

What if I am trapped in the known forever? 

Too afraid to look at the stars. 

Even if they are less bright 

I can still see.
