she looked up
and she saw glittering galaxies
but now she only has to close her eyes to see the universe
to fly past floating orbs of fire
and feel the night brush her skin,
gliding through the velvet darkness
her eyes reflecting the shimmering moonlight
and as she breathes in stardust
time itself diffuses into her veigns
the world colliding and sparking within her mind
each neuron branching out into neon roots of flickering light
and she just can’t decide
whether she felt as small as the dust particles floating by her
or as immense as the never-ending void she found herself to be a part of
she was falling
omnidirectionally falling
through space, time, and the chasms of nothing that filled the cracks of the universers
and lifted her spirit
across the constellations
for all eternity
