Day 27: Wheel with the Stars

I long to wheel with the stars

Above earthly seas,

To pitch my tent in esoteric paths

As I constantly roam the heavenlies.

It’s something I feel I gatto do

Eventually it’s something that comes true.

I wanna be the peak of the mountain.

I wanna be the particle of snow on Everest.

To bubble like a life-producing fountain.

And when my days are completed

I long to be the article of posterity

That resolves the climax of a story that never really ends.
