Heliopause

A borderland
barrier of atoms dancing
under the last pull of the sun

heliosphereThe rush of silence
like a favorite song
skipping for the first time

The reach of our yearning star
that’s stretched and strained
until finally it’s time to tear away

Go beyond the boundary
past the discord
of trans-Neptunian noise

And listen
to unimagined symphonies
bind unknown spheres

Where the interstellar threshold
beckons the limit of imagination’s
capacity for fear

There has never been dark like this
nor beyond, such light
