STILL SEARCHING FOR GOOD SOIL

My tendrilled breath probes,

into a stream unseen.

Looking to return to its source,

somewhere in here, way out there.

Fingers flung over the moon’s dark face,

a desperate place to anchor,

its cratered skin cradling a center collapsed.

Yearning in here, way out there,

in nebulosity’s sea,

still searching for good soil.
