Requiem for a Star
A blanket of fire
each spark
revealed upon the velvet sky.
This fleeting moment
where an illuminated past
travel weary
exhausted
finds rest
within our naked eye.
Making acquaintance
with this celestial beauty
we are at a loss.
For once captured by our sight
it has since faded
dispersed amongst the cosmos
as yesterday’s implosion.
Stargazing
The smallness of self
lost in the ether
tasting light,
discovering the secrets that time has
buried.
Experts in illusion
convincing us of this:
that we too, are
shrunken
forgotten
and
insignificant
amongst the stars.
Emerging author and Pushcart Prize nominee, Blaise Langlois, will never turn down the chance to tell a creepy story. You are sure to find her writing in between teaching and raising four beautiful children, or feverishly scratching out ideas (which, to the chagrin of her supportive husband, usually occurs just after midnight). She has a penchant for horror, sci-fi, and fantasy. Her publications include short fiction and poetry through: Space and Time Magazine, Black Spot Books, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association, Eerie River Publishing, Black Hare Press, Pulp Factory E-zine and Ghost Orchid Press.
