I laid a galaxy to rest today,
A journey of discovery,
Through the stars and feeling and ultimately to tragedy,
It burned out from building planets into nothingness,
comet fire dying quietly in the atmosphere above.
And I buried it in the ground to feed
the roots of a new universe,
Leaving flowers on headstone
For the Galileo in my heart.
