Unspoken

There were things we never talked about— Like how the foundations of eternity were motionless,
Or how the digital nature of bytes and gigabytes
Combined to create the fleeting images of life’s veil.
We never spoke of seeing other people,
But we never uttered the word matrimony, either,
After that day we stood together,
Stunned at the ends of the earth,
And awestruck by the fiery tail
Of the ruptured comet.
