Starlight

Far away,
The ship is taking me far away,
Far away from the memories

Maybe there's a guiding light for mosquitoes up there in the skies? In such case, I won't stop chasing it until the end of my life to send it into a supermassive black hole: “ Our hopes and expectations, black holes and revelations...”
