Life creeps in around me
and I weep

I feel out of place
disconnected
my own star
dim by comparison.

the collective looks so beautiful
there in its other world
colors twirling, unfurling
embracing

cracks in the wall,
even the ones that enclose me.

eyes down in grief,
transformative beauty before me;
the evolution that would happen
should I raise my glance
to meet its eye

aye, face down
I weep
and life creeps in around me.
