Silent cries into a black hole
Of a void
Of all once good gone bad
In a tumbling soundproof cage
Knowing Stars look on frozen
In a #contrarian pose, helpless
Makes the heart break a little
More and more
Obliviously blind and deaf
The maker of such pain

Dylan turned the glass around and around between his hands, sliding on the wasted slops of the #mellow whisky he had managed to afford, as the news played over-and-over the events occurring throughout the Systems.
What more could he do? Wallow. Wallow and work. Each job a blessed respite.

BORN TO DiSAGREE
I was a #contrarian since birth,
Born to disagree.
She was more complicated,
An atomic paradox,
But that was part of my obsession.
She said, “You never conform,
Even if it’s to your own advantage."
(I never knew if she liked that about me or not.)

By nature,
the #contrarian
is alone
but never lonely.
the company of his
musings, endlessly
entertains—
the art of
his mind’s eye,
vividly conjuring
the alternatives—
he cheers them on,
giving them life.

By some chance, some fluke, some #vagary of fate, Dylan had managed to drift into a little-used space lane. He hadn’t realised how close he was to death. Fuel gone. Life support at minimal.
Found by a passing freighter taking a short cut to minimise costs.
No-one believed his story.

we pretend to hold all the information we need
yet we still don’t understand the cost it exacts on consciousness
a silent buyer evolves in the shadows
seeking the price of the soul we scarcely know

Dylan awoke to silence in the cockpit of Magpie. Silence and darkness, the only light coming from the pinpoint dots of the #starscape beyond the canopy.
He had survived, somehow. Uncertain where he had turned up, he tried to restart the ship’s systems, only for a shadow to pass overhead.

the plan was to enshroud her in darkness
but her curious eyes
discovered a fissure in the granite vault
through it
they glimpsed the splendor of the starscape
she beheld herself
a star bereft of brilliance
and remembered
how to blaze
how to burn

The things would have screamed through the air, if there was any. Instead, they silently climbed, one after the other, forming #parallel lines as they moved out toward the other thing outside the orbit.
Ships. Hundreds of them, in designs that Dylan had never seen. This was very, very bad.

It was but one small moment
in a lifetime of moments
when I realized
I needed to spring forth
from merely missing you
to letting you go
from my mind
my spirit
my heart
words have lost their power
to bring you back to me
I’ve not been the same since
and I don’t know
if I ever will

Things didn’t come to an abrupt #stop in space. They drifted until something brought them to a halt.
Dylan allowed Magpie to continue, waiting until he reached a few thousand kilometres from the derelict ship, hiding his power signature til the last minute before firing reverse thrusters.

The ship had come to an unnatural stop, becalmed on the #brine, sunlight dappling the deck through lazily shifting sails.
Rory could see there was still wind, but the ship would not move, which meant the enemy they had chased had found them instead and battle would soon come upon the seas.
