The Last Few Neurons Fire

The air feels dark.
What a curse
to know I'm alone
the last on the ship
drifting through space.
The ice creeps up my hand
I know I didn't make it -
when the rubble hit
a hole broke through
and the universe became silent.
Let me float amongst the stars and freeze, 
at least I won't be there when Earth is vacant.

Congratulations on your placement in my Science Fiction Poetry Contest. I found the scenario in your poem to be an excellent portrayal of a situation that is familiar to Sci Fi fans. Well done. Chetta

An unfortunate circumstance. That would be a lonely experience. Congratulations on your win.
