It would have
In the life of the universe
I was moving again
I wanted to go to space
to put it all in perspective
When I went outside for repairs
That for one moment
I could look down
so how can it really
destroyed me utterly
be said to matter
I would find myself
and see it all
every human that ever existed
staring out into space
the living and the dead
hanging below me
The stars began to wink out
that we could not
And I know that
one by one
for a few minutes
on a tiny ball of carbon
On the Daedalus I found
and then when I checked the time
and I thought
hours would have passed
I don't remember if I slept
the sense of a presence
something out there
there was no possibility
perhaps for a second
The tether coiled out behind me
Something that wasn't the earth
And it was getting closer
spooling meter
The whole station
shook violently
perhaps for a hundred years
