590nm
I can go use the phone
It’s close to the wall
I can even hold a jar to the wall
Listen to the muffled energy
That room contains a troupe
A number of actors with one star
Sensational talents, each a jewel
I can speak to the wall
They all do, regularly
Honor prevents my crossing over
That door is locked
Fenestration at the wall’s seam shines
The star’s light is persistent
I am still a planet
510nm
Another celestial body leads me
Brings me to a clearing
I see a green glow to the West
She introduces me to the tinkerers
They work tirelessly in the path of jade
Its glimmer entices me too
Yet the star still glows orange
The tinkerers speak a new language
I speak with them and they sing a chorus
I find their themes and motifs abrasive
But the verdant light calls
550nm
The celestial body, a comet with a long tail
Trusts the tinkerers
And knows the star
They are of the same ilk
Yet she speaks not of the star
An agreement born of the wall
The star still glows orange
The tinkerers build and sing
They drive their engines West
Toward the green mist
Blinded by its will-o’-the-wisp
I am still a planet
Bathing in the orange light
Listening to its color
Silenced by the wall
475nm
The tinkerers find their green gold
The comet rejoices
It was through aid from the cold blue winter
They grant me my share
Yet I grow cold, no sign of orange light
The comet is silent
She is a projection, from the seam in the wall
She still resides behind the wall
With the actors
And the star
I look through the seam
The wall is excruciating to touch
I see the actors from a distance
The pain is worth their visage
650nm
The wall was constructed
To disrupt an orbit
My orbit
The star must reach Andromeda
It hosts a greater stage
The trip is meant for stars
A planet’s safety is uncertain
So says the orange star
Artificial constructs lack permanence
Hers are no different
The wall obscures her light
But gravity still guides me
A cosmic relation was made
In spite of light years
And parsecs
Two members of the universe
Will never be disconnected
400nm
Ages pass
The wall comes crumbling down
Planet and star
Face to face
Resisting the void
Nova
