If I had kept walking past that ticket gate without stopping,
Would I have lived a happy life, never even knowing your face?
If I hadn’t slipped out through that back gate,
The brilliance of the stars I gazed up at would have turned into nothing but dirt on my shoes.
Lying on the linoleum floor, hands scraped raw from doing a handstand—
Realizing this place, too, was the edge of the galaxy, I felt dizzy in the pre-dawn light.
I wanted you to hear, to answer, to feel it reach you; I shone, and shone, and shone as I screamed.
In the instant I tumbled over the wire fence, the world burst into color.
Soar out to the far reaches of the cosmos; plasma tears right through the air before my eyes.
I was simply mesmerized, oblivious to the bruises and wounds.
Even across light-years of distance, my body keeps moving forward.
I can hear your voice in the distance now.
It’s shining.
Passing through the ticket gate, particles pierce my skin.
A shooting star in the alleyway sky; a rat scurrying in a panic.
If I hadn’t let go of your hand in that crowd…
If I had swallowed back that voice that slipped out so suddenly…
If I had kept walking past that ticket gate without stopping…
You wouldn’t be anywhere to be found, and I wouldn’t be here either.
The ball you threw that day struck me on the forehead;
In the moment I fell, I clearly saw it—
The contrail streaking across the navy-blue sky.
That was when I knew it was love.
Soar out to the far reaches of the cosmos; plasma tears right through the air before my eyes.
I was simply mesmerized, not even noticing the pain.
Even across light-years of distance, my body keeps moving forward.
I can hear your voice in the distance now.
It’s shining.
