Consolidated Stars

Some day If it still exists
The Sun will kiss the warm dust,
Earth
And take in what it snared
So many years ago
Consolidated dust
Debris of matter formed
From interstellar bangs
Encircled, never touched
Until the day
Its kiss extended to our shores
And took back the dust
The Earth had snared
So many years ago
From the ones
Who used it for a while
To love
Each Other
Circled one another
Incomplete
Till he kissed warm dust
Being formed of stars
And fused as one, destroyed as ones
And life began again
Some day
As long as we exist
A son will kiss consolidated stars
And take in what she snared
So many years ago

It sat empty
Ripped up wire
Plumbing missing
The cash in hand
Made an offer
