Black Holes

there are those moments
when the tears blind …
everything becomes a star
and the universe hurts.

there are those moments
when breath will not come …
the clouds freeze and die,
and nothing moves from fear.

i dreamt we were all laughing,
arguing over who would make coffee.
the smiles and rolling sounds
were fields of daisies and dandelions.

when I wake, those moments
compress the story of life
into a universe in pain
that can not breathe.
