What if there were stars
that were lost
not occluded from our view
hiding behind greater stars
and bits of cosmic detritus
but lost
are there sisterless spheres
out there aflame in the night
wayward and untracked
diving away
from the centers
of their galaxies
sad and lonely
tiny gravity hands paw at the dark
and ache to hold close with the others
to burn brighter
before the cold
