I have seen the rings of Saturn.
Pleiades, her sisters.
Orion’s nebulaic sword.
The red war of Mars.
The connection between
Aldeberan, Antares, Aquarius.
The Dog Star.
North Star.
Majors and Minors.
Twins.
The haze of Andromeda from light years away.
Her screams above the cliffs.
And I have stood there too,
Hair flying into the wind
Soaked and curled with saltwater spray.
Chains along my arms.
Eyes searching the sky.
Feeling the weight of infinity.
Of self-sacrifice
Looking back in time.
Fearless.
Prepared for Salvation.
