Beautiful Plague

 We are each the astronaut of our own life
attempting to navigate space that does not yet exist
no maps
just eerie stories
from those who have flown
between their own stars

We tend to favor the known solar system
even though the way to fulfillment
is to gouge out a new trajectory

What we have in common
is we are all infected with life
and at the journey's end
we all die from this beautiful plague
