my arms outstretched, I embrace the heavens like a long-lost child ... let this ocean of suns swallow me, its deep, dark gut, my tomb - should love care to find me, let it be as stardust ... distant ... cold. ** For the “Put Your Best Sijo Forward” Poetry Contest, Andrea Dietrich, sponsor and judge. ** ( Syllables = 15 per line, counted at HowManySyllables.com )
