Existential Loops

Existential Loops.

I once belonged to a celestial body,

Until an explosion disposed of me

Into the space where all senses cease.

A fractured shard of obsidian who sails silently

Through absolute blackness.

I soar through zero gravity

Like a blind arrow towards a target,

Hoping that I will fall into orbit,

Or perhaps I have already fallen into an orbit,

And that with every rotation,

And by despondent gravitational force,

Am brought closer to the star

From which I was born.
