an everlasting dream of sprawling starscapes. my eyes are dry. i have not blinked for eons. i have always been and i will always be. my eyes are sore. the stars shine, i shine back. my eyes are stinging. the lovers have died, i am all that remains of what once was. my eyes are red. the moon is waxing. the sky is dark and clear. my eyes are watering. slowly, one by one, the stars blink out.
i blink back.
