Stardust

The elements
that radiate through
our bodies
are born

of a supernova.
Carbon that
binds and
holds you

true. The iron
in blood
that steels you.
Phosphorus

to help you
at bit chew.
Nitrogen
blocks

your cues.
Calcium
in bones
that break

through.
Oxygen without
which
you will

turn blue.
Your mornings
and wakes
and every last

breath
and step
echo
the shock

wave of a long
drawn
degeneration
and a sudden

total
collapse.
This burst core
in time,

this bare beat in
vein, this spectral
pulse
of life, this death.
