I saw myself in the mirror
and that eye-locked gaze – 
like meeting a soulmate randomly, 
became the axis for which
my world slowly turned. 

though no longer merely slowly, 
but an intensification of gravity
which breathed decades 
into mere burning minutes,

decades of grieving centuries lost 
in wayward orbit collecting space junk 
and calling it experience, calling it me, 
calling it what I was meant to be. 

decades of compact space junk
broken down, giving me a firm footing 
to stand in this nebulous bog,
primordial swamp eating me as gravity 
pulls me down into the mud of my belly.
