That moment

That moment

Of disconnection

When the operator pulls the plug

The snake hiss

Of the void

The loneliness

Of an empty space

When the starry mass

Is unfamiliar

The complexity

Of patterns

Is existential

Universality

Is as intimidating

As excelsis

How do we navigate

Unwalked paths

The moon is unforgiving

Turning its face

Following the blind

There are no leaders

To be sure of

No love

Without connection

No grief

Without loss

Hand over hand

The lonely

Know what love is

It is what was

Before like minds

Played games.
