I prefer my suffering by satellite
in a night sky safely hidden in space
a thousand little stars look more pleasing
from afar need a little distance
when up too close I feel the heat eyes see the sting
shut my eyes experience has taught me to sleep
let dreams make the meaning while I remain complacent
see the constellations stay nestled
comfortably in Orion’s armpit
then telescope placed me brought me into sight
undiscovered is desired I desire
my darkness makes me unique
keeps me happy my threat
rocket fuel and fire prodding in space
invading my darkness uncovering truth
too much light ruins the view
awakens me to my suffering
reminds me I am ignorant
shut off all light quash rocket and fire
quiet hush
fire is out now rocket gone away
look up lift head up see
Half moon sliver I feel better for a time
I prefer my suffering in a night sky
good night.
