An interconnected family of supernovas burning bright in the night sky: take a moment, reach out—join us.
My Falling Star
D.R. Humble
The separation of our charges—
an electrostatic lifeblood
pulsing through illuminated capillaries—
suffocates space.
The distance—
between you
and me,
from the sky
to the ground—
infinitesimal.
For a moment I see you—
quicksilver melting into eyes,
calling to me in flashes
as lightning strikes—
once in a blue moon.
From your planet
to mine.
