Shooting

He launched the orange

black-ringed planet as if he knew

it belonged in space; his feet left

the ground and his heart

trailed the ball like stardust

across a universe silent with fatigue

and ten seconds left

and gravity. A constellation

of sweat where his heart is missing.

So this is a star.

(i need a better title!....I do like how the first and last word go together though) :)
