stars disperse
expel
outward
re-accumulate
particles
form new existence
it is in this way that

is ever truly lost

forms change
energies
shift
what came before informs that
of which is yet
to come

embed in cells
fragments of dust
essential/ life.
Attempt an understanding
who we are
relations to/in the universe
look to the intimately microscopic particles
apart of and in relation
to the overwhelmingly macroscopic
gain a sense/perspective.

star formations are parallels
to the life of humans.
a birth, mid-life and a death.
After death the particles of the momentarily lifeless star
are projected back out into the vastness
combine with other dust particles in gas clouds
when fusion occurs
life is.

Beginnings and endings
Life and death
Internal and external spaces
And the imminence of existence.
