Cosmic Ghosts

Throughout the outer cosmos you will find ghosts leaving interstellar gas behind. That is to say a galaxy remains, where pompous, excess energy enflames a slight shiver of the cold, viscous kind.

The pairing of this with the title National Poetry Month made me smile--such a small poem that opens into something vast. The line about ghosts and interstellar gas was quietly stunning. This feels like a flare of poetic energy left behind in the stars. Beautiful.

Thanks Alesia. This was a fun challenge from Crystol. I liked that second line too. It fell into place easily. I appreciate your support. :)
