Meteor and the Andromeda Galaxy

Helix Nebula // NGC 7293

Few stars are visible such as the Andromeda galaxy. But the majority of the stars that you can observe with the naked eye are in this small area of the Milky Way.

darkness flows over milky skin like water, a mother’s mouth condemns her daughter beauty only takes you so far, further, the furthest away you could ever be taken. stripped bare and chained down  you are still more than you seem to be, waiting for Death, who does not come  in the form of the monster circling the waves,  who does not come as the boy wielding a sword  brandishing the title hero as though it was earned- it wasn’t, you saved yourself from the divine fate. Death is nothing more than the night sky where you are to stay permanently and you think, just maybe, you may be in love, a trillion kisses on your lips each so bright you shine brilliantly. Cetus never stood a chance. oh, and if the Gods could see you now so high above their mount, they thought immortality was theirs  but the marble crumbles while you are a galaxy that can not die. Andromeda The Brave, Ruler of Men, Celestial Body: I think it is time someone rewrites your story.
