Never closer the whole rest of our lives
than that night we caught celestial lies.
Flaming comets, cryptic and precise,
appear in sequence through the sky.
The universe whole sparked,
giving us a fleeting, glowing arc,
for just a momentβ€”then nothing, stark.
A memory of a rooftop in Mexico, a surprise meteor shower, and a love that burned out fast. Sometimes the universe gives you a glimpse of everything at once, then nothing at all.
