compass in orbit finds itself spinning in circles. magnetic needle swings by shake, i've lost direction. north by northwest, soak my cells in atmosphere. a conscious effort, satellite pulse. i have my excuse to cut the spacewalk tow. transmission lost. now i float weightless, and am truly alone as i can feel my marrow splice as stars replace the bone. the elements of the galaxy begin to unite as one. now, my only fear erased, as i am engulfed into the sun.
