"A Tour Of Broken Stars"

In honor of National Poetry Month, I am sharing work by myself each Friday. This poem expresses my fascination with physics and entropy, and the difficulty in trying to hold such enormous, mindboggling information in our heads.

A Tour Of Broken Stars

Cooking over open fires
    embers flying, orange dots
    joining stars
Against the wall at night
    in shadow, you’re an animal
    like the others
    joining stars
All the antecedents, all the
    time to come and all the
    expansion, burning and
    collapsing
    joining stars
