Star froth
There are days when I can't feel anything
So I'll lay down in my night
The sea of stars lapping against me
Looming above was the objective cosmos
Maybe not objective but unmotivated uncaring not feeling and uncertain
Like how I felt
The star waves came around me
Like hands searching for something to grasp
I already knew I wasn't going to be found by the star waves
But as they finished feeling my skin they left trails of starfroth that slowly faded away
This is where I went when I could not feel
And here is where I went to accept
That feeling nothing at all
Is still a feeling.
