Cold stars


Dense clusters. Dark stones fly, paths chosen before their birth. The galactic polar bear club, warmhearted swimmers, 4K sea. Kissed by a spore, a ship, a traveling lighted home. Burrowing bipeds effect a sea change. Under its stony integument, gift of the billennia, a warren of lacy holes. Down and down, a cardinal, a banked fire, once many thousands of degrees, then a redly glowing match head.
