another way to talk about siblings

Breaking the Sun
A family of particles cluster and fall eons apart
before we know anything vital of their light
Like siblings sent unknown into lifetime-love
sent also with all the vitriol in the universe
This crimson glow has no finish line for light's translucent runners,
only voluble atomosphere burning pink with proximity
Imploding emotion gets to be pretty dada without a doubt
exploding haphazardly from heart to heart to galaxy
Fuck love without fucking, survival trumps
and turns most fragements away from themselves
Grasping at the cosmic illusion of something formed
even as it breaks apart is about right
A lost tribe of one person is all of us holding onto each other
for a better glimpse of diminishing self
So many rays fall unknown upon earth's opaqueness
You would think we would learn to see through it
