Galaxy

I watch something fall from the sky
try to trace it back
and wonder what it would be like
to land inside myself

I made the trip
but don't know where I am going
so I don't stop to pick up a souvenir
what I wouldn't give
to touch a true place again

I miss it
I miss it so much
I forget it is inside me
looking foolishly and everywhere
to find what is not lost

I lay down
close my eyes and turn into a galaxy
my face
the sun
my body
space
with an earth between my breast

I see eyes searching for me
I feel their wonder to know my meaning
so I fall from the sky to answer
