Tonight, for the first time ever
as I lay in bed
I zipped my hoodie closed,
pulled the zipper and fur lined
fabric above my nose to
avoid the cold
and smelled
me.
Only me.
I never knew
how to distinguish
that scent.
There it was,
indistinguishable:
me.
Apparently it
took hundreds
of miles for me to
know it’s
scent.

Under many different phases of my being, I have looked into the stars and wondered whether the blanket pulled over our existence is a construction sheet with poked holes, or just a whole shitton of white we can’t see (all of). I’ve looked at the stars like they are things that haven’t changed or haven’t moved, even while they are all out there orbiting, collecting and changing in size; combusting into life and exploding into death just as we are down here; thinking ourselves birds, or otherwise still humans floating, looking down into deepest seas. And even then, we —the stars and I—would look at each other from a great distance and laugh at one another’s perspective.
