If it’s true (and I’ve been told it’s true) that all these particles
that make up this thing I am (and the thing that is you) were
forged in the furnace of some dark dark night, were made in the belly of
some distant star, is it any wonder I feel so unmapped? Uncharted
insides with valleys I can’t see the bottom of, maybe tiny glowing fish
swimming through the lowest reaches, somewhere down past my toes. And
maybe my freckles are not freckles, but pin-points on a globe, places
where the things I said to you once bubbled up from, where that one
dream about the ocean occupying a corner of my bedroom came from, places
where something has been discovered or uncovered or lost. And if we spin
as fast as they say we do, is it any wonder I’m often so dizzy, dazzled
and uncertain, unsteady on my feet as we careen through so much unknown
matter and space between matter. I want to know and I don’t want to
know, curious but so in love with mysteries. How lonely and harshly lit
might it be if everything was suddenly revealed, forever stuck being
exactly what it is?
