stardust

stardust

by Lisa Molina


pinpoints of life

fragments of

exploding stars


moon eggs float

contentedly in a

mother’s womb


growing, stretching, turning,

hearing the rhythm of

the heart blood flowing


seeking more space

pushing and prodding

to discover new worlds


even if by pain

blood fear and

saltwater tears


interconnected by

the stardust within

all of us


and the rhythm

of moon life

waves breathing


in and out

back and forth

ebb and flow


whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh
