Nose twitch.
*Sniff*
I know this feeling…
Gravity.
Human gravity, pulling me toward someone
I like it
I might really like it
But then it could scare me
Will…scare me

No. No. Stop.
I don’t want to go there.
I remember supernovas, nerves seared and melted as we smashed each other to pieces
And the aftermath, thrown out of ourselves to become scattered clouds of space dust
The memories of being a star so close they still give off heat…
I put my hands to the thoughts,
but I know they will not be enough to keep me warm in the void…

.

…
….
…..
……
The Void.
I’ve been a particle alone in black ocean for so long…
I’ve forgotten.
I can see other bodies,
I try and try to send them signals,
But they’re all so far away,
My equipment is battered and malfunctioning.
I know I’ll die before I reach them

A spark!
I used to have gravity, I think…
I could play
Zip here and there, slingshot myself into new systems
I could dance
Like Sirius, the double star
Our paths a helix spinning in space

GATHER!
GATHER EVERYTHING!
Katamari Style
We’ve got to get bigger
Restore our gravity
Swim harder!
We can reach them!
