shooting a star through the vast reaches of space. watch the tail a clip away from the sun. roping asteroids in the dead sea that's space. hold on tight a slip away from nothing. spell the way in stars as to not forget. spin the planets around their orbits. hide yourself in the dust of a galaxy. don't breathe you'll choke and gasp for more of the air not there to comfort you when you need a friend. Any familiar presence just a hope in the sea of stars. Anyone to be there adrift in the sea afar.

manmade satellites a familiar graveyard. all too familiar but all too strange. cold machine electronic systems. circuits and signals but not a companion. no warmth, no conversation, nothing but a blank sheening stare. skeletons, memories, once humanity had touched but never again. cold to the touch. syndicate. AI.
