Autumn 3022

What’s left of my atoms
how much of me survived,
since the day I collided
to this long sleepless night

Take me away from this oxygen
like water for iron I slowly realised,
one more breath, one more drop
a red soul never dries.

Bring me back to my planet
where this sun doesn’t shine.
On your wrecked silver spaceship
can you still make it fly?

Bring me back to my star
gone since a thousand years.
You keep watching a light
that has long disappeared.
