Ode to the Greatest Mistress I Will Ever

Waking up inside sweat.
Gale force winds.

The sun stands still

deep sea.

Over the bones and
12 meter spined urchins
flashlight against blue blacked.

Still water.
Onyx and snow star map.

Respirator intact outside the airlock

inside the deep of the sea.

Selfie beside a galaxy
with a gold tooth and a V for peacetory.
Snow falls and the papers shredded
settle against sand and crustaceans out of time
while I count the stars and planets
and waypoints through the dark.
