she couldn’t stay the same if she tried

it’s not in her nature to stay the same

losing pieces of herself to the universe

every day getting eaten away at

and every other day being restored

cyclical like cynical debate on the cosmos

she can’t hear you from all the way up there

she has to chip away at herself

and reinvent herself in vain

alone but for the stars

tearing apart and coming back together

spending her life chasing the largest star

the most beautiful star she ever saw

making herself smaller and bigger

to try to cheat the big blue planet blocking her sun
