Gas, Lights

We don’t know what they are, but
They’re not the least bit like us.
Souls don’t melt, no, they go straight

To gas. Til then, they trap heat
In the ice. Past then, they trap
Heat in the light. Then they’re stars.

Oh, did we say souls? Same thing,
In a way. Names for what are
Are names for what aren’t. Not us.
