Link Meets the Light Dragon

You traded the life we
recovered, your enduring
self, your research, our
home, all for this weeping
dragon left in their stead.

There is an impostor among us

When it comes time to vote some-
one off the ship, I finish my will and tell myself
that space is as good of a coffin as the body
of a tree. That floating through an endless void
used to be my definition of heaven.
