\nIf vanishing
\ninto thin air
\nwas
\na possibility,
\nwould the sky
\nconsume
\nmy substance;
\nand limbus
\nengulf my soul
\nand the Siberian birds
\ntake me home,
\nsetting sail
\non wayward winds
\nto unknown heavens?
\n 
\nWould you notice
\nI am gone
\nand smile back
\nat me,
\nwhen I twinkle
\nat you
\nin star-studded nights
\nand make a wish
\nupon me
\nto see me
\none last time?
\n 
\nAn escape
\ninto nothingness.
