MANY TIMES I'VE READ ABOUT STARS
how they exploded so many years ago and
the chemicals followed
(carbon, oxygen)
it never was poetic to me
until i read that we carry all those elements in us,
thus we carry exploded stars in us
all of us will carry a peice of a star that exploded
forever; as long as we live,
and still, EVEN AFTER WE'RE GONE
