Twinkle twinkle little star
In the sky that set us apart
May you shine like rainbows
Over the desert of our heart
---
Find the little star shining in the sky above
And let it grow within your darkest night
Watch it glow by the curve of your hand
In a blaze of light mixed with a gift of love
---
And if your star gets lost in the cold night
Lean your heart against my burning breast
So that through my warmth on your crest
Ashes may give birth to our feathers flight
----
Our light sealed within the orbit of a kiss
Ripping the fabric of time beyond infinity
Through space and the far limits of desire
We stand at the edge of the abyss of love
---
Atoms like us lost in the vastness of space
We the everlasting memory of dying stars

High Rise, Deep Impact
I have witnessed a death that I relive every time I step into an elevator. Although it no longer affects me as deeply—given that it's been 11 years since the incident—it remains a heart- rending memory from my first and last day as a paramedic. My initial call to the scene involved a man who seemed to have fallen down the elevator shaft of a high-rise building. Alternatively, it might have been that the elevator moved upwards while he was working on it. Different scenarios were being considered when I arrived.
