To my son – hour 1 poem

“Wenn ich ein Chance bekomme, bin ich bereit.”

– Was macht man mit einer Chance?, Kobi Yamada

When the distance of the night seeps in,

I get a nudge from you telling me you don’t want to be alone after you die. I tell you of

A chance that galaxies have families by their side as they burn up or burn out. I tell you quietly

I will be there too, a few light years across when you are

Ready to be a star.
