there is a moment
when you step
out
from under the
porch light
and in the escape
from its safety
your breath freezes
your heart stops
your mind stills
and the stars
erupt
above
in all the glory
you have ever witnessed
in a moment
reminding you
that life
doesn’t make sense
but that it
does
not
need
to.

and then you
breath again
your heart beats again
your mind travels again
and you
smile.

there is a moment.
