FAINT GALAXY

I come from
Far away from you
And that is
Far away.

Hundreds of
Millions of stars in a
Galaxy and billions of galaxies and one
Billions of light-years away.

I came from
Far away from you
And taht was
Far away.

My news is billions
Of light-years ago. When
I started to come toward
You.

And somewhere
Along the way. I
Forget
What I was going to say.

I came from
Far away from you and
That is far
Away.

The light
That reaches you now
Is I
Began far off.

That touches your eyes.
That enters your thought.
From afar.
From the start.
