Fade
Sometimes closer, sometimes further away
An atom in the atmosphere, ever so slightly
Completely insignificant, unburdoned and featureless
Watching the artwork of the cosmos, the ink
And paint sprays, nuclear droplets of neon red and yellow
A fine divide, thick and cursive, completely tangible
Delicate as icing sugar trails, frail steps of pixie toes
And Santa Claus, a perfectly wrapped box for Pandora
Opened like a C section, the folds and hands of the cosmos
Aborting a trail of fragility, a Berlin Wall of celestial nothing
The sun and moon on either side, fierce and forceful as street statues
Dropping coins for the tell tale signs of a birthing eclipse
Eyeing up the competition, guessing height and weight
The take down speed. The sun is gone and everything fades
